INTEL WiFi AX200 keeps disconnecting from WiFi

[iMatrix7]

I have an INTEL WiFi AX200 that constantly disconnects from WIFI.

I have:
- Windows 10
- Standard router in AC mode
- Latest driver provided by INTEL.

I tried to disable the AX protocol (to AC), since my router doesn't support it yet, but NO difference. I tried with another router, and same problem.

I need help, please.
Thank you.

PS = Also, I need a way to force my card to stay on 5GHZ band. It keeps trying to put herself in a 2.4Ghz mode. Maybe because I'm too far, but it doesn't matter. I want the 5Ghz band all the time and I can't force it. I already put the "prefer 5ghz band" ON, but it doesn't work.

Hello,

yes, I recently purchased a PCIe card for my DESKTOP PC.

The router model is "Virgin Media Hub 3".

I attached the SSU report you asked.

Please, let me know.

Thank you.

Hello iMatrix7,

Thank you for your response.

As you mentioned, it is an expected behavior to see the wireless disconnecting from the 5GHz network if you're too far away from the router. The range is lower in the 5 GHz band because higher frequencies cannot penetrate solid objects, such as walls and floors.

Did you try all the recommended settings from Intel*? If not, please check the following website: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000005585/network-and-i-o/wireless.html

The router and SSID configuration may also affect the band you selected. Please, check with the router manufacturer that you're using the proper settings on it.

Also, you can check this with the motherboard manufacturer, since you did an integration, we cannot confirm if the card and antennas are properly installed and that might be affecting the PC wireless performance.  Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) may limit the computer to only specifics settings on their systems.

Could all ways just install win 10 may be a cheaper and easier option. The WiFi 6 is quite good and also gives you Bluetooth 5 and It appears to be more stable.

I upgrade to it as I was getting drop outs with Bluetooth and WiFi that I had before with the Intel Wireless-AC 8265 + Bluetooth 4.2. I have several Bluetooth 5 devices and they did not play nice with the 4.1.
