Problem: Intel AX211 WiFi drops for a second or two

Hey y'all. I am having issues with my MSI z790 Gaming Pro Wifi 6E adaptor that is running on Intel(R) Wi-Fi 6E Ax211 160MHz driver. This MOBO is brand new (like 6 hours new) and my previous one was doing the same, so I upgraded "for nothing" even though it is a nice upgrade. My wifi randmoly drops for like 1-2 seconds. During those two seconds, I am dropped from teams calls, rubberband in a video game, or my browsers require a refresh. It is not a big deal but it happens every 5-10 minutes that it has become a headache. I have watched on task manager watch my Wifi go from 11 MBPS thruput to 0 Thruput for literally a second or two. I have tried the following:

1. I have updated my driver to the latest driver from July 2024.
2. I have gone to device manager > network > AX211 > Power Management; and disabled 'Allow the computer to turn of this device to save power.
3. I have gone to device manager > network > AX211 > Advanced ; and set my 802.11 a/b/g Wireless mode to 5 GHz and split my wifi bands to have a 2.4 and 5 GHz.

Has anyone experienced this and what fixed it for you?
