(intel(r) wi-fi 6 ax201 160mhz) keeps on disconnecting, making my wifi disconnect.

Hello, i've had this issue where my (intel(r) wi-fi 6 ax201 160mhz) driver keeps on disconnecting. It happens very randomly, and has annoyed me for the past few months. Anytime I'm trying to work on something important, the driver disconnects and my wifi dissapears, making me lose all of my progress.

Before you ask, yes, I have looked MANY times for solutions online, yet all I see are outdated posts and "fixes" that do not work.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thank you for the screenshot. Open the MyASUS app, navigate to the System Diagnostics tab, and run all system checks.

Then, go to the System Update tab and install all available updates. Restart your computer and check.

I’m also using the Intel(R) Wi-Fi 6 AX201 160MHz and having the same issues. Especially within the past month, I’ve noticed a lot of people reporting this around the same time, so I don’t think it’s just a simple hardware failure.

In my case, when I switch to a USB Wi-Fi adapter everything works perfectly, which shows that my network and system are fine. This makes me believe the problem is more related to the AX201 driver (or its compatibility with recent Windows updates) rather than the card itself being defective.

Still no fix or reliable solution so far, and having to rely on a USB Wi-Fi adapter that’s much slower compared to the built-in AX201 is really frustrating.
