Question Intel Wireless-AC 9560 160MHz, problems

[Banakori]

Hi, I have a gaming rig. and I'm too far away from my modem/router, so I use on-board wifi for my internet access. As of like, a few days ago, my internet would randomly cut out, and "pretend" there is no connection, despite the little Wifi Icon telling me there is reception at this part of my house.

I've tried removing the little extention/antenna from my Motherboard's wifi. I've tried disabling the device, wiping and resetting my network settings, uninstalling and reinstalling from device manager, and it keeps rearing its ugly head, and it interrupts my games at the worst possible times.
I've tried to look around for people having similar issues, and I got nothing like this. I already checked, and the internet 100% works for all other devices in my household. I'm getting really sick of having to turn on airplane mode, and turn it back off or whatever has to happen to reestablish the connection. Help me out here?
I can give screenshots if you need it.

The wider bandwidth you choose (160Mhz) the worse the interference and general performance. Set your router to 40Mhz bandwidth in 5Ghz and 20Mhz on 2.4Ghz.

the adapter itself says 160 MHZ. I have a 2.4GHz signal and a 5GHz signal. I do not know how to change the bandwidth on my router, and in my device settings, all I see is 20MHz or Auto under Channel Width for both signals in my Device Manager.

Please help.

I've had this Motherboard/wifi adapter for a few months and only now it chooses to do this. and I haven't changed a thing about my ISP/Modem/Router in 7 months.

WIFI is impacted by the hardware AND the environment. Something around you could have changed. Or a windows update could have changed something.
What router do you have?

My router is a Sagemcom F@st 5260.
I understand what you're getting at but my PC is the only thing in the house having any issue with it.

You are likely misreading something. 160mhz support is only on the newer 802.ax stuff. There are some non standard implementations on 802.11ac. It doesn't really matter your router does not support 160mhz channels so you can't use them.

The problem is not devices INSIDE your house they to a point coordinate their usage and attempt to stay out of each other way. The problem is all your neighbors wifi devices. This can even be stuff that is not wifi like baby monitors or cordless telephones that operate on the same radio frequencies. The more bandwidth you attempt to use the more chance you take to being interfered with.

There is little you can do with wifi. You can change the drivers on the end device which you have done. You can change the radio channels and the channel width. Other than that there is not much you can set.

Your problem could be a hardware failure with the nic. Most times interference just drops you but it immediately reconnects. Because you are having to force a reconnect it could be something else.

I see. Well, thanks anyway. Sorry to bug you.
