Wifi not working

Tried everything: restarting, reinstalling the driver from the Intel website, downloading all windows update, and even upgrading to Windows 11, however, I keep getting this error and am unable to connect via Wifi. I am on the other hand able to connect via USB tethering and ethernet though. Can anybody please help me this is frustrating me? Also, what other Wifi card brand and model can I replace Intel with?

    select the checkbox, "Remove the driver software for this device". ?

    I don't have that checkbox. Mine reads, "Attempt to remove the driver for this device."

    Might not work for everybody, but here's a try that worked for me. Struggled with my AX201 in a NUC11 for days and nothing worked. Updated the drivers for NVIDIA and now it works. No obvious explanation for this, but it fixed the problem. Whatever it was, went away with a clean install for NVIDIA.

    Hi I have Asus tuf15 gaming and I had same problem, yesterday the WiFi was fine today it doesn't work just like that without installing any updates or doing anything... So I've tried everything from installing uninstalling drivers, writing stuff in RegEdit and so on whatever every 1 is suggesting online as a solution and nothing worked, at the end I had to open the laptop and disconnected the WiFi card and the 2 cables for the antenna clicking into it and putting everything back together and it worked!! Many Asus tuf users are complaining from this problem and this seems to be the solution. Either the antenna cables are not connected fully or have disconnected somehow or its the WiFi card that needs to be pushed back on cuz somehow it's not fully clipped to its place! There is a video exactly how to do this for Asus tuf15 if you search for it.

    You welcome.
