No stable connection with "Intel(R) Wi-Fi 6 AX200 160MHz"

[Lokomotive99]

I built a PC with Windows 10 Pro 21H2 (Build 19044.1526) especially for me. I gave him additionally a network card (model: Asus PCE-AX3000 PCIe card) with Bluetooth and Wifi 6.

Unfortunately, the PC has a force of habit of cutting the Wifi connection (no Internet, secured) several times an hour and also after booting up due to DNS problems (so my guess). 

i took a look in the windows event viewer and get different error IDs which all come at least from the source netwtw08. In the meantime I also get the messages ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED, DNS_PROBE_STARTED and DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NO_INTERNET via the browser (Opera, Edge).

Now I have already checked whether drivers are available and subsequently downloaded and installed the latest from Intel (version 22.110.2 from 25.1.22). I also tried to temporarily improve the network settings, but without success.

Now i asked in the microsoft forums and they forwarded me to the Intel forum, with the reply, that those are all messages from the driver in the event viewer, there might be a compatibility issue with the card and the adapter.

Error codes on the event viewer

• 5002: Intel(R) Wi-Fi 6 AX200 160MHz : Network adapter malfunction detected.

• 5005: Intel(R) Wi-Fi 6 AX200 160MHz : Internal error occurred.

• 5007: TX/CMD timeout (TfdQueue hanged)

• 6666: Firmware dbgc dump trigger

• 10400: A reset operation has been initiated for the Intel(R) Wi-Fi 6 AX200 160MHz network interface. Network connections will be temporarily lost while the hardware resets. Cause: The network driver requested that it be reset. This network interface has been reset 23 times since it was last initialized.

i updated my motherboard with the latest stable version and made a clean installation of the drivers, which not really helped much.

i managed to take a look on recent test reviews of the network card and read that switching both antennas might help, which i tried and i guess it works now. i don't know why it helped but my pc now automatically connects with the wifi and keeps the connection the complete day
