Hello,

I am facing a recurring Wi-Fi connectivity issue on my Lenovo Slim 3 laptop running Windows 11.

The Wi-Fi connection disconnects automatically multiple times during use. Sometimes it reconnects after a few seconds, while other times I have to reconnect manually. This issue is affecting my work, online meetings, and general internet browsing.

Device Information:

  • Laptop: Lenovo Slim 3
  • Operating System: Windows 11
  • Wi-Fi Adapter: Intel(R) Wi-Fi 6 AX201 160MHz

Troubleshooting Already Performed:

  • Restarted the laptop and Wi-Fi router.
  • Updated the Wi-Fi adapter driver.
  • Forgot and reconnected to the Wi-Fi network.
  • Ran the Windows Network Troubleshooter.
  • Disabled the power management option for the Wi-Fi adapter.
  • Installed the latest Windows updates.

Despite trying the above steps, the issue still persists.

I would appreciate any guidance on how to permanently resolve this problem. Please let me know if there are any additional diagnostics or settings I should check.

    Have you tried switching your Wi-Fi band from 2.4 GHz to 5 GHz, or vice versa? Also, perform a network reset on your Windows system. If your BIOS is not up to date, update it to the latest version as well, and then check if the issue persists.
