    i have also 24h2 windows 11 LTSC, well,
    i suffer from wifi problem a lot, hard time to connect to wifi network
    and my laptop is Asus TUF Gaming F17 2022-2023
    after install this old driver's, it connect on first' or second' try

    i didn't expect new Mid' level computer, to act like this
    i always suspect, or this intel wifi card is garbage, or it is a driver problem
    because, this network also connected to my phone
    so, my garbage phone can connect it, and my laptop struggle ?

    Fwiw, I had/have a few Asus ROG's (different models) and finding a suitable and stable driver for both WiFi and bluetooth was not fun at all.
    Lenovo's just works on first try, Asus is imo total different experience.
    Eventually you find something that works.

    I feel you, it's not fun when it behaves like this.

    This is a driver issue between Microsoft and Intel, and often occurs in unsupported wireless network cards, especially after a certain monthly update version of Windows 10 1809.
    The situation is similar to what you described, with frequent disconnections, unavailable connections, the network card driver device is disabled or disappears for no reason, or the driver device appears to be normal. If you choose to disable it, the system becomes stagnant and unresponsive, and you can only force a restart.
    If the connection becomes unavailable, the only way to use the wireless connection again is to force restart


    This phenomenon is particularly prominent on Intel wireless network cards. The solution is to use an older version of the driver [network disconnection may occur again, with intervals ranging from a few hours to dozens of hours]
    To completely solve the problem, switch to a wired connection directly, or downgrade the system, such as 8.1, or replace a new wireless network card to completely solve the problem.

    I have thought to use external one
    But it's bulky & ugly
    And what the point use one
    When you got one . ( But it totally garbage?)
    But it does work after giving some time
