Asus TUF Gaming F15 wifi driver suddenly stops working (MediaTek Wi-Fi 6 MT7921 Wireless LAN Card)

After I install the latest Windows 11 update, my laptop now loses connection and goes missing in the settings.

I tried uninstalling and reinstall the driver from the Asus support website and the issue still occurs. Is this a common occurrence for this laptop or is it just me?

Hope there is a solution before I send it to the repair shop as a last resort. I'm currently on USB Tethering using my old phone just to connect for the time being.

    This is an actual joke, this problem from what I can see online has been reported since March of this year. Are they just not going to resolve it now?

    Anyway, you kind people here are some less-than-conventional options:

    Turn off power saving mode, don't ask, I don't know why either.

    Change your home wifi from Public to Private in settings.

    Disconnect all ports (chargers included) and hold the power button for a full 60 seconds.

    Open MyASUS and install all updates, optional ones too. Same goes for Windows Updates.

    Connect an Ethernet Cable (You'll need it for this step ^) and run the windows wifi troubleshooter.

    For some reason, the Network Adapter (before it disappears and disconnects you) will revert to an older version. Search for an update by right-clicking on the adapter changes and select "Let me pick from available etc etc etc" and click on the newest driver and next.

    Last but not least, what I find myself doing more often than not, getting verbally angry with my computer thats not even a year old. Not virus related as im sure many of you have checked each time you get a Blue Screen and reset or when your wifi vanishes without a hi nor bye. Hoped some of these worked, even if only for a time longer than 15 minutes.

    Hello may I join the conversation? I've been having the same issue and trying different things to try and solve the problem. I just went into the wireless adapter properties and clicked on the 'Power Management' tab. There is a box that says "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power." Mine was checked, so I unchecked it. Now to see if that fixes it. Fingers crossed.

    Hi everyone, when I booted up Ubuntu linux and connected my Wifi to my router it started to work again in Windows 10 without any other steps. So, I guess this was incompatibility between windows update and Wifi driver.

    What I did:

    1. Reverted latest windows update.
    2. Updated all drivers for my TUF F15 via MyASUS.
    3. Updated windows 10 (All updates until 21 June 2022
    4. My Wifi was NOT working in Windows 10
    5. Started Live Ubuntu linux.
    6. Wifi was working as expected
    7. Connected wifi to my router
    8. Boot Windows 10 again and Wifi started to work in Windows as expected.

    I have been having this issue for months, since I updated it to windows 11, I was having to use a system restore point to go back when it happened but that was really getting on my nerves, I have just managed to fix it, which really wasn't difficult, wish I had done this in the first place. The network drivers are on Asus website for windows 11, just choose your BIOS version and download it. I have saved it to a USB drive as you won't have internet on you're laptop unless you're using an ethernet cable, that way if it ever happens again, just stick in the USB cable, install it again, restart your laptop and you're good to go! The link is below incase you can't find it: https://www.asus.com/Laptops/For-Gaming/TUF-Gaming/2021-ASUS-TUF-Gaming-F15/HelpDesk_Download/ Hope this helps
