AX201 connection drops

We have frequent wifi disconnections from our computer (with AX201) to our access point (AVM FritzBox 7490) in 5 GHz. Other wifi devices work well at this location.

It seems that other wifi devices nearby also disconnect, if the AX201 disconnects.

Any ideas about?

It has bluetooth as well, but it's currently not use.
It's a Lenovo ThinkCentre M70q with a fresh 20H2 installation. I have only one wifi network available for usage.
I updated intel wifi driver to the latest version.
If I restrict WIFI to version 5 only, connection is stable.

Thank you for the update. After checking the reports and the information provided, this seems to indicate an issue your router. The AVM FritzBox 7490 is an AC router, therefore users cannot expect to get the advantage of the Wifi-6 AX of the Wireless card AX201. Please check the recommended configurations, specs and capabilities with the manufacturer.

If you need any additional information, please submit a new question as this thread will no longer be monitored.

AX201 device drops frequently the WIFI connection with the router. While other devices do not.
AX201 should use WiFI 5 while connecting my router. But this seems not to work flawlessly with intel AX201.
What are the options?
