Windows 10: Network adapter driver problems

Hi,I have had a recurring issue with my network adapter driver. I have a Lenovo Yoga 7 14ITL5 running Windows 11, and the driver in question is the IntelR Wi-Fi 6 AX201 160MHz.

Network adapters problem

Hello,

It definitely sounds that this issue is caused by a driver conflict since you mentioned that your network functions properly when you disable or uninstall the Realtek PCIe GBE Family Adapter driver. To continue troubleshooting this issue and help us in providing
the correct solution, we would like to know the following information:

• Do you receive any error messages when using wushowhide.diagcab to hide the update? If yes, what is the exact error message?
• What happens when using wushowhide.diagcab to hide the update?
• With the adapter driver enabled, do you receive any error messages when connecting to the network?
• What other troubleshooting steps have you tried so far?

In the meantime, let's run the Network troubleshooter. This troubleshooter finds and fixes common connection problems.

• In the search bar on the taskbar, type Identify and repair network problems and then select
  Identify and repair network problems in the list.
• Follow the steps in the troubleshooter and see if that fixes the problem.

We also recommend that you try looking for the latest driver on the device manufacturer's website and follow their instructions in manually installing the driver.

Looking forward to your reply.

 

Network adapter problem

Hello all,

First post and need help with something please.

The basics- new Asus x509ua machine from January. Sometimes the network adapter is not found by the computer.

This has been happening on and off since I bought the machine. It happened two or three times back in Feb/Mar and just now happened again. The network adapter is not discoverable or found by the computer so I have no internet options. I've been through steps previously of downloading and installing drivers and some other things so have a bit of experience with it. Also sometimes I just fixed itself, where the problem was there and I couldn't solve it, then turned the computer on after two days and the adapter was there. This time there's a different problem.

Turned computer on today, no internet options. Go to device manager, network adapters, the list only shows the 8 WAN miniports, so I click show hidden devices and get the full list including the QualcommAtheros adapter.

I right click on it and uninstalled it, but now I don't know how to reinstall it because I can't see it. I'm hoping it will just magically reappear like it has in the past as I don't know what else to do. This has happened at a really bad time as I'm working from home and need to use the computer.

Would anyone know what I should do? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!
