WIFI 6 (Mediatek MT7921) disconnects randomly

Hi Alvaro,

I have uploaded the file of the driver that I use. Hopefully, this forum doesn't have any rule that keeps me from sharing a URL. Please try the following link:

If I recall correctly, I installed this driver through the Windows Device Manager. You will need to download it, unzip the archive, and then go to windows device manager. Look under "Network Adapters" and find "Mediatek MT7921." Right click that and then click "update driver." Choose "browse my computer for driver." Find the folder that you extracted and choose that. If the driver that you are currently using is newer, Windows may say that it already has the best driver. In this case, you will probably have to uninstall the current driver first, then install the driver that I have provided. Anyways, I hope that it works for you. To be honest, it might be easier to simply return the PC. I probably would have already done that but the situation is a bit more complicated for me because I purchased the computer in the USA and then moved to another country... so international shipping is expensive and just more complicated. Thankfully, I have determined that the hardware works correctly and that it is a driver problem.

One other option for you. Another person on this threat named "NickBryson" has suggested a fix that works for him. You may want to try that. I hope it works.

Hi Jeremyb777

The truth is that I have crossed my fingers and it has not worked for me, when I open a game like battlefront 2 in a matter of seconds the internet is cut off and stops responding correctly, could you please upload the driver folder that you downloaded please, I thank you very much, if this no longer works for me I will take the computer to warranty, although I know that this is the work of a windows update.

Hi Alvaro,

I am looking but also can't seem to find the same exact driver that I am using. The driver that I am using is version 3.0.1.1309 and was released on 3/17/2022. I'm pretty sure that the website that I downloaded it from is:

https://oemdrivers.com/network-mediatek-mt7921-wireless-lan-driver

However, I don't see the exact driver that I used. I know that the one I used came from Lenovo, but the link above has some a newer version, so maybe they replaced the former one with a newer one. You can try the newer one... however, if that doesn't work then I can find a way to upload the one that I have for you to be able to download it and try it. Hopefully, that won't be necessary.

I have a newly purchased HP Pavillion laptop with the wifi adapter (Mediatek MT7921). It would frequently lose internet connection, then not show any networks available, then seem to disappear for a few minutes, and then reappear. I believe windows was detecting that the device would stop working, then attempt to restart the device driver. I tried everything... updating drivers, uninstalling, reinstalling, as well as pretty much everything that you said. I eventually started getting Blue Screen of Death. The strange thing is that when I ran a component test in the BIOS, it would always pass.

I even performed a couple of HP Cloud Recovery Factory Resets... but this didn't fix it either. Even before I ran any updates or installed any programs, the problem persisted on a factory reset machine. I began to theorize that maybe the driver that HP included with their recovery image and on their driver server was somehow corrupted or defective. I then determined to download a Windows 11 ISO directly from microsoft (and not HP) and let microsoft find drivers. This went well until I could not complete the setup process because it didn't detect any wifi networks. Turns out that the Windows ISO didn't have a proper driver either. There was a way to open up a command line and install a driver through there. So I looked online and found another driver (not sure from which provider) which worked enough for me to install Windows 11. But then again, on a fresh installation of Windows 11, I had the same problem. I then decided to try another driver. I downloaded a driver called "MediaTek-FORCED-10x64-7961_3.00.01.1309_lenovo-drp" that I found on a third party site. Upon closer review, I think it actually might be for a slightly different adapter... Anyways, I removed the other driver and updated it to this one and kept my fingers crossed to see what would happen.

Well, 30 minutes went by, then an hour, then 2, then several... then overnight... then all day so far today I have not had a single problem. Normally, if I open up windows event viewer, I will see tons of errors related to the networking and internet. However, there are little to no errors being reporting and the internet has not stopped working once. This makes me think that my theory may have been correct... that maybe there are some faulty drivers being provided through HP and maybe even ASUS... I don't know... However, I would encourage you to try finding the driver that I mentioned and give it a shot. I was about to give up on this computer and/or just install linux, but this seems to have solved the problem.

Hi Jeremyb777, I've searched for the specific driver on the internet but it doesn't appear in driverpack anymore, or I don't know if I'm looking wrong, I just can't find it, could you tell me the exact link where I can find it if it's not too much trouble?

I didn't read all 4 pages but I was having this problem and went into

1.Device manager

2.Network Adaptors

3.Mediatek wifi MT7921

4.Right click

5.Properties

6. Advanced Tab

7.Change 802.11 to wireless AC instead of AX

Since doing this I haven't dropped Wi-Fi once and before it was every min or so. I don't think this has to do with my router, it supports AX as other devices don't drop except for this Wi-Fi card in ASUS laptop.
