AX200 randomly disconnects, breaks, have to disable/eanble driver to reconnect

[HKlum]

I have a AX200 with a Dell XPS laptop, using it on 5GHZ and 866Mbit connection. Latest driver 22.70.0.6 and latest Windows 10 stable build.

When using the laptop for hours, I have random disconnects, maybe once every 2-6 hours of using the laptop. The connection just breaks and it seems the driver "crashes", Windows doesnt show the AP anymore, until disabling the Wifi device and enabling it (restarting the driver).

This issue was present before maybe since a year or some months, mostly after a driver update.

Is this a known issue? It seems Intel "tried" to make the drivers more stable, because with every new driver in the past months I read about "stability fixes" in the path notes. So I assume the developers kinda dont know what theyre doing, and seem to build in workaround after workaround, but never were able to make the drivers "rock stable" so far.

Any information about this? Is this still a known issue internally and being worked on?

Here is a Windows log entry of a moment it happened:

Event ids: 5002, 5005, 5005.

2. Is this the original adapter that came pre-installed on your computer or did you change/install the adapter to this one?   

3. Is the Bluetooth working?
