you could try...
- resetting the Network
- Upgrading the BIOS to the latest
- Open a command Prompt and type " sfc /scannow " (no quotes) to look for and repair any damaged or corrupted files.

i have done all that already do you think it just a faulty motherboard as i think i actually installed the drivers before

it could be an intermittent fault with the wifi onboard adapter. The only way to really know is to slot in a PCI wifi card into the motherboard and connect to see if it fixes the problem.

This microsoft site has the updated driver that is the latest one, different from the manufacturer website.
Select the one that suits the version of windows you have. You can also try the latest on the top of the list to suit windows 11 24H2

which one should i chose i think 5 ghz

 

[KingLoki]

choose just one and turn the other off in the modem. Do this for both bands and it may fix your problem, hopefully.

Choose 2.4ghz - Turn off 5ghz
if no good then try...
Choose 5ghz - Turn off 2.4ghz

You still may need to update the microsoft driver as mentioned in my previous post if not working.

How do I know if it 5 or 2.4?

 

[KingLoki]

it will tell you in the modem settings. What modem do you have?

• Open Settings > Network & internet > Properties

it should tell you what band. but you should be able to disable or turn off one band in the modem

I mean installing the drivers which one do i chose from the list the 24hz? Newest one or what and how do I change it hertz

 

[KingLoki]

the driver list refers to the windows version for example 22H2 or 24H2. It has nothing to do with the wifi band.
in the windows search box on the desktop, type in "winver" (no Quotes) to get the version you are running.

What modem are you using to get wifi?
