Question Asus Maximus Hero XI Wifi-AC disconnects randomly.

[Robert Gendron]

Hey everyone,

I've had this motherboard for about 9 months and the problems come and go away all the time, but it's recently got to an annoying point. I will just be playing games and everything disconnect's from the internet. It literally takes me 0.5 seconds to connect back to my network with windows 10 network setting. It's for sure not my internet because my speeds are pretty damn good plus I only get disconnected randomly on my pc. Any help? It's really damn annoying


Motherboard: Asus Maximus XI Hero (Wifi-AC)
Windows 10 Home
850W PSU

I'm still having this issue, unfortunately. I actually installed some new drivers for the WiFi-AC and other network-related drivers this morning. I'm not sure if its windows related or the mobo just being iffy. It's really starting to bother me tho. I've tried multiple things including talking to people on PCMR. Please let me know if you find a solution.

Im think might just be a wifi card thats not very reliable. I moved my router to test my theory. I will report back

For some reason the first two wifi drivers on the Asus web site i couldnt get them to install. This isnt the first time i had a issue with a wifi card. I would of liked to see a palce on the motherbaord to be able to replace the card via m.2. Even HP OMEN has a replaceable wifi card smh

Its worth a try to move your router so far its working because i was disconnecting very often

mhm interesting. My router is literally right in the other room tho. I could move it for ethernet but kinda losing the purpose of the mobo. I bought WiFi-AC for a reason haha

check in the Power Mgmt tab for your device, may have to untick Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power

THe wifi seemed to be ok but i think its poor in general like many other onboard wifi cards.

Any updates? was it just the location of the router? How did you improve it?
