Wireless AC 9462 constant disconnection problem.

[FAudi1]

I have disconnections on a regular basis. Once I'm disconnected I can't reconnect and I get an error saying "we couldn't connect to this network". But my wifi router is showing in the list.

Other devices at home can connect with no problems so it really comes from my laptop.

I've got a Dell Vostro 5590

Windows 10 64bit

My wifi card is the Wireless AC 9462

The driver is the 21.80.2.1 version, downloaded directly from the intel website today, the problem is still here.

Please help, this is really annoying.

I have the identical issue.  I have no wi-fi from neighbor's, multiple devices connected (apple, dell - perfect connections maintained for days / weeks)

I have had my Vostro 5490 for 3 weeks, it ran beautifully for the first week, then I am plagued by constant drop outs - the only changes are Windows updated - until today.  I have begun changing some of the advanced settings - of note Chanel width for 2.4GHz from auto to 20 MHz only.  As I type - I have not had a disconnect for nearly 30 minutes - the longest I've gone.  This intermittent disconnect kills productivity for remote workers!  I have the latest driver installed from your website.  I hope my connection keeps going after the change I made mentioned above

Hey Intel, Hi Everybody,

Guess what. The same happens to me, but it gets even worse. Often when it disconnects it also, as crazy as it sounds, it kicks out all other devices from the wireless network! Seriously... all other connected devices lose connectivity for a moment. No joke! It took me days to realize this.

My notebook is Dell Inspiron 5490.

Right now I'm experimenting with different settings and different drivers etc. Sometimes the issue does not occur for many hours, so it is hard to say if the problem is resolved.

I'm on driver version 21.90.3.2 (at the time of writing Dell had version 21.80.0.4 available on their page).

Are there any confirmed solutions for this issue?

regards,

Marl

Hey People,

Just to let you know.

The driver version 21.90.3.2 downloaded directly from the Intel site resolved the issue. There were no disconnections for several days now.

Drivers provided by Dell seem to be broken somehow.
