Windows 10: Frustrating wireless connectivity Acer Swift X 2021 & MediaTek MT7921

AllenLau · Oct 16, 2022

I have my Acer Swift X 2021 version with me that's been facing Wi-Fi connection problem with the wireless network at home from FibreHome SR120-A router.The last few driver updates for the MT7921 network card including the one available on Acer's website, V3.0.1.1300 would prevent me from connecting to my home network. So I have tried to use older version of the driver V3.0.1.1075. It worked fine with my home network but it creates a bigger problem than it solves: my computer crashes with BSOD every two hours or so AND during every reboot. I am currently at Windows 11 Retail 22621.674Is t

WIFI 6 (Mediatek MT7921) disconnects randomly

I had the same issue as yours with my newly purchased Asus ROG Strix G15 (2021 Model).

I can confirm that @jeremyb777's solution worked like a charm for me. I did the following steps:

1. Download the "MediaTek-FORCED-10x64-7961_3.00.01.1309_lenovo-drp" from this website (DRP is a great archive of device drivers)

2. Unpack the ZIP archive. Press WIN KEY + X, then hit "Device Manager"

3. Under network adapters, right click Mediatek MT7921 & hit "Uninstall device", then check driver uninstall confirmation in the next dialog box.

4. Restart your pc, open device manager again, right click Mediatek MT7921 under Network Adapters and hit "Update Drivers"

5. Click the browse option in the next prompt and select the drivers you downloaded (and unarchived) in the first step, then wait for it to finish the installation (you should get a success prompt).

This should fine for you too, if you have a similar configuration laptop. I have Windows 11 Home installed (with latest patches).

Thanks to you i have fixed this problem. I have Asus M16 (2021) and wifi card disconnected random. Now it's ok. I hope that windows update doesn't blow everything up again....

Acer announces Swift X thin and light laptop with GeForce RTX 3050 Ti

Editor’s Summary

The new Swift X leverages the latest AMD Ryzen™ 5000 Series Mobile Processors and an NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 3050 Ti Laptop GPU to offer mobile creative professionals powerful performance on the go, plus up to 17 hours of battery life[1]

Aimed at creative professionals, content editors and streamers, the notebook comes equipped with a 14-inch FHD IPS[2] display that covers 100% of the sRGB[3] color gamut

The notebook’s premium all-metal chassis comes in a variety of colors, just 1.39 kg[3] (3.06 lbs) light and 17.9 mm[3] (0.7 in) thin

TAIPEI, TAIWAN (May 27, 2021) Acer today introduced the Swift X, the newest member of its popular Swift line of notebooks. Designed to take ultra-portable PC design to the next level, this ultrathin-and-light laptop boasts an AMD Ryzen™ 5000 Series Mobile Processor[3] with “Zen 3” architecture[3] and the latest NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 3050 Ti Laptop GPUs[3].

“Acer’s new notebook models are designed to offer consumers the widest possible choice of high-performance, ultraportable computing devices,” said James Lin, General Manager, Notebooks, IT Products Business, Acer Inc. “Professionals need a clean-looking notebook that is compact enough to take with them throughout the day, but it also has to be powerful enough to run multiple resource-intensive programs at once. With every device we make, we’re always pursuing that balance.”

“Powered by the highly-efficient and extremely powerful AMD ‘Zen 3’ core architecture, the Acer Swift X delivers impressive battery life in a high-performance and ultraportable design,” said Saeid Moshkelani, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Client Business Unit, AMD. “We are proud to collaborate with key partners like Acer to deliver premium, no-compromise solutions for content creators, streamers and creative professionals.”

Thin, Light and Powerful

The new Acer Swift X (SFX14-41G) notebook represents a new segment within the Swift portfolio, the first of its series to come powered with discrete graphics, all at an impressive 1.39 kg (3.06 lbs)[3]. Its NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Laptop GPU, based on NVIDIA’s Ampere architecture, combined with up to an AMD Ryzen™ 7 5800U Mobile Processor and 16 GB of RAM offers creative professionals such as video editors or photographers plenty of power. True to the Swift family, all this hardware has been fitted into a metal chassis just 17.9 mm (0.7 in)[3] thin.

The productivity capabilities of the Acer Swift X are further enhanced by up to 2 TB of SSD storage, allowing all of a user’s work to be taken with them, and a fast-charging 59W battery that offers up to 17 hours[1] of use.

Vibrant Color Representation

The Swift X features a 14-inch FHD IPS[2] display with an 85.7% screen-to-body ratio, 300 nits[3] brightness and 100% sRGB[3]—enough for editing 4K video or getting photographs just right. A plentiful array of ports including full-function USB Type-C ensure ultra-fast data transfer, video streaming and battery charging, facilitating this process, while Wi-Fi 6 means faster overall connectivity.

The notebook also includes a fingerprint sensor for more secure sign ins through Windows Hello, AI-enhanced noise suppression for smoother video calls, and Acer BlueLightShield technology to help lessen eye strain during long editing sessions.

Cool, Quiet Editing

Built with heavier work sessions in mind, the new Swift X leverages a fan with fifty-nine 0.3 mm blades and a pair of D6 copper heat pipes to optimize its thermal efficiency. A number of other innovations also improve the notebook’s cooling efficiency: an air inlet keyboard design expels around 8-10% more heat than a standard keyboard, and a stereo ring with an inclined plane sitting along the top of the fan delivers up to a 5-10% improvement in airflow.

Price and Availability

The Acer Swift X (SFX14-41G) will be available in North America in June starting at USD 899.99; in EMEA in Summer 2021 starting at 899 EUR; and in China in Q3’21, starting at RMB 6,499.

Exact specifications, prices, and availability will vary by region. To learn more about availability, product specifications and prices in specific markets, please contact your nearest Acer office via www.acer.com.
