I've been experiencing this issue with my ASUS ROG laptop since I bought it in April 2021. Occasionally, the Wi-Fi icon and settings disappear for several days before reappearing and functioning normally. I've tried various troubleshooting methods, but unfortunately, none have been successful in resolving the problem.

You're a lifesaver! I experienced a similar issue today with my Asus laptop and found your advice about using the Device Manager. Disabling and then enabling the Wi-Fi driver did the trick instantly. Thanks a ton for sharing your solution—it really saved my day.

My Asus Zen Laptop 2in1, that I had for 5 years, bought it in 2019, & last month just after the Google changes, I've had the same issues & I followed your directions & it worked! My wifi was working again, but just an hour ago, went back to its current state, no wifi off & on button, no connection, nothing! I'm frustrated & cannot afford a new computer!

I uninstalled the driver & since my phone is the only working wifi, I downloaded the driver with the link you provided, uploaded it to my computer, unzipped the folder, restarted it & still nothing! Went to Asus website, downloaded the correct wifi driver & still nothing! Did a system restore, nothing! Followers your directions again, nothing! Guess my laptop is going in the trash!

In my ASUS FX517ZE I have the same problem. Unfortunately enabling/disabling driver does not solve the problem: it works for a while after which wifi is not working , that is the wifi icon even is not visible. May be ir reappears after a while, sometimes yes , sometimes not.

I tried to install the latest intel drivers, same as uninstall/reinstall drivers itself eith the same results.

I red the problemi is in the chip (INTEL AX201 180 mHZ) is it true or it is a sw problem (which and how to solve it)?
