Some SSDs and WIFI modules may interfere with each other if they are too close or if the SSD draws too much power from the system. This can cause WIFI connection issues, such as dropping, lagging, or disappearing from the network list.

To verify if the SSD and WIFI module are impacting each other, you can try the following steps:

• Check the model and specifications of your SSD and WIFI module, and see if they are compatible with each other and with your system. You can also contact the manufacturer or the vendor for more information.

• Try moving the SSD or the WIFI module to a different slot or location, if possible, and see if the issue persists. You can also use a shielded cable or a metal case to reduce the interference.

• Try using a different WIFI network or frequency band (5 GHz), if available, and see if the connection improves. You can also adjust the WIFI settings on your system or router to optimize the performance.

• Try updating the drivers and firmware of your SSD and WIFI module, and see if that resolves the issue. You can download the latest drivers from the manufacturer's website or use a generic driver.
