WIFI 6 (Mediatek MT7921) disconnects randomly

Anonymous

I just finished building a new pc and installed all the appropriate drivers and software. I have a WIFI 6 router which I have had for a while now and never had any issues with and the motherboard I am using is the ASUS TUF GAMING B550-PLUS WIFI II AM4 AMD B550 SATA 6Gb/s ATX AMD Motherboard. It utilizes the Mediatek MT7921 WIFI card.

The WIFI will randomly disconnect but it says its still connected. Oddly enough I can still load Google and Youtube but nothing else and even then that is intermittent and extremely slow.

Drivers: Ive tried updating, rolling back, deleting and fresh install. no dice

Settings: Ive tried disabling IPV6, Changing from AX to AC to N, etc, Disabled the Bluetooth since its the same adapter. no dice.

Ive even checked to see on another device if my pc is connected to my router while its in this disconnected state and it shows that its connected to my router but it will not connect properly to the internet. I have not had this issue with any other device on my network so I am to conclude that it is most likely to do with this new pc and this Mediatek WIFI Adapter.

Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

    Hi Ben,

    The one I downloaded and used most recently (with success) was provided by OxGuardian on this thread on May 11th. I have posted the link below:

    Hi. I'm Prem.

    I own ASUS TUF F15 which has the same WLAN Card that you've mentioned.

    Even I had the same issue.

    So I installed latest driver of MediaTek 3.3

    Now the issue has been resolved!

    Here's the link for the driver : https://rog.asus.com/forum/showthread.php?124328-DRIVERS-MediaTek-WiFi-Bluetooth

    Hi,

    I had no idea what you were talking about as the file itself is a zip file... Then I redownloaded it and saw that a random graduation pic had made it's way in there... Haha. I have no idea how that happened. Anyways, if you still have it, there is also a folder inside called Mediatek. Just keep opening the folders til you find the files. The one ending in the .inf file is the driver. What you would need to do is go to the windows device manager, find network adapters, and right click the mediatek one. Click "uninstall device." Then afterwards, reinstall it. Windows will ask which driver... You will then locate the one I provided an use that. Anyways, I'll remove that file from filedropper as it has a graduation pic which wasn't even mine, but should have never been in there. Again, not sure how it happened! Sorry about that! The following link should be better without the unnecessary folders and graduation pic.

    Instale el controlador que mencionaron y funciono perfectamente en un asus Rog Strix G513, es algo molesto que asus no solucione este tipo de problemas.
