As stated in the question. I cant find the device listed on my computer anywhere except the properties menu where it lists it as not present and disconnected. I dont even have the option of trying to reinstall the drivers or anything.

IFA 2022: Qualcomm makes Wi-Fi 7 history with HBS Multi-Link

Today, at IFA Berlin, the world’s most prominent consumer electronics trade show, Qualcomm Incorporated President & CEO Cristiano Amon made history with the first public demonstration of the must-have Wi-Fi 7 feature: HBS (High Band Simultaneous) Multi-Link in 320MHz. While Wi-Fi 7 brings unprecedented improvements to Wi-Fi, HBS Multi-Link is the essential Wi-Fi 7 feature for smartphones, PCs, and next-gen XR devices. This is because it unlocks the full, global performance potential of Wi-Fi 7 for those devices, even when 6GHz spectrum is not yet available.

What is HBS Multi-Link? HBS Multi-Link is an essential Wi-Fi 7 implementation that simultaneously leverages two Wi-Fi radios for four streams of high band connectivity in 5GHz and/or 6GHz bands. Qualcomm FastConnect 7800 Mobile Connectivity System supports all multi-link modes and, with HBS Multi-Link, users can realize minimized latency and interference, jitter-free connections, and blazing fast speeds. What does this mean for Wi-Fi 7? HBS Multi-Link is the only way to experience the full potential of Wi-Fi 7 globally. Where 6GHz spectrum has been made available for Wi-Fi, 320MHz channels enable peak real-world performance. However, as we showed today at IFA in a live, over-the-air demonstration, when 160MHz channels are available, HBS Multi-Link can deliver 5 Gbps of over-the-air throughput by aggregating those two 160MHz channels - over twice the performance of Wi-Fi 6/6E. This will be mission critical when 320MHz channels are unavailable due to congestion or any other reason.

Without HBS Multi-Link, Wi-Fi 7 begins to look a lot like Wi-Fi 6. In regions where wider 320MHz channels are inaccessible because 6GHz spectrum itself is not yet available, HBS Multi-Link enables the aggregation of 160 + 80MHz channels to surge speeds up to 50 percent faster than Wi-Fi 6/6E.

This is the kind of performance that will be at the heart of the most advanced use cases in XR, Metaverse, cloud-based gaming, 8K video streaming, video conferencing, and more. We are excited to have shared our progress on HBS Multi-Link – this essential Wi-Fi 7 feature – but even more so to deliver it to users around the world via FastConnect 7800 soon.

MWC 2022: Qualcomm introduces FastConnect 7800

At Qualcomm Technologies, good is never good enough — for us or our customers. As a leading wireless technology innovator, we constantly drive progress to bring you the best technology solutions and experiences. Today, that pursuit comes in the form of initiating a new era of connectivity supporting both Wi-Fi 7 and next gen Bluetooth connectivity: Qualcomm FastConnect 7800, the world’s fastest and most versatile connectivity system. Qualcomm Technologies is proud to be on the cutting edge of innovation in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity. Previous generations of FastConnect offered industry-leading connectivity, whether on mobile, compute, or XR platforms, and FastConnect 7800 continues that legacy of superior connectivity. We’re championing the industry transition to Wi-Fi 7 by bringing the first Wi-Fi 7 connectivity system to market and enabling the fastest and most responsive Wi-Fi speeds in the industry.

Whatever you’re doing online, you deserve the fastest and most responsive connection possible. FastConnect 7800 helps deliver the world’s fastest Wi-Fi — with peak speeds to 5.8 Gbps, which is 60 percent faster than previous generations. Additionally, FastConnect 7800 features the world’s lowest sustained latency – under two milliseconds – making gaming, video calling, and anything else you do online smoother than ever before. Whether you’re using a phone, laptop, or XR device, FastConnect is designed to ensure you get the connectivity needed for amazingly immersive experiences. Wi-Fi 7 is bringing forth a new era of wireless connectivity, with features like 4k QAM, 320MHz channel bandwidth, and multi-link capabilities. Though, as with every standard, implementation is where truly differentiated performance is achieved. For example, multi-link can be implemented with simultaneous links or alternating links. Further, one of those links may be implemented using the narrow and congested 2.4GHz band (which could otherwise be reserved for Bluetooth or IoT devices). Design choices such as these will dictate how well your next devices will be able to harness Wi-Fi 7 speed and latency benefits, so Qualcomm Technologies’ approach is to offer a flexible solution that will include all the options. With that said, FastConnect 7800 delivers an uncompromised approach to Wi-Fi 7 by implementing High Band Simultaneous (HBS) Multi-Link technology, which allows for multiple and simultaneous 5GHz and/or 6GHz connections. That means FastConnect 7800 can bring the full complement of multi-link capabilities, including the fastest and most responsive option, HBS Multi-Link, with two superhighways of simultaneous traffic for a host of advanced capabilities that make sustained low latency and wide channel bandwidth speeds more achievable. In addition to Wi-Fi 7, Qualcomm Technologies is applying this approach even with today’s Wi-Fi 6 and 6E networks by extending our renowned 4-stream Dual Band Simultaneous capabilities into the high bands.

FastConnect 7800 is a connectivity system for more than just Wi-Fi, though. It delivers superior wireless audio; Snapdragon Sound technology, Bluetooth LE Audio, and Bluetooth 5.3 get a significant boost with Intelligent Dual Bluetooth for two streams of premium audio. Dual Bluetooth means you get reliable CD lossless quality wireless audio, more immersive gaming experiences, and better connections overall. Additionally, Snapdragon Sound is optimized for real-world scenarios, so wherever you’re listening and whatever you’re listening to, you’ll have the sound quality you deserve. With up to 2x faster pairing, the continuity of your connection is improved. And by reducing Bluetooth power consumption by up to 50 percent, you can jam out even longer. With an expanded connection range — up to twice as far as previous generations — you can let your dance party wander without skipping a beat. Special attention was given to ensure that FastConnect 7800 maintains compatibility with all prior generation devices. Whatever generation of Wi-Fi or Bluetooth you’re using, FastConnect 7800 is built to give you the best connectivity. Sampling is already underway, with commercial availability rolling out in the second half of 2022. With FastConnect 7800, Qualcomm Technologies is proud to be first to welcome the world to a Wi-Fi 7 commercial solution – and raise the bar once again with next-gen wireless audio.

How to connect to an existing wifi network?

If I click "Change adapter options" it shows Wi-Fi "Not connected" and "Qualcomm QCA9565 802.11b/g/n Wireless Adapter". When I clicked "Diagnose this connection" it reset the wireless adapter but the Troubleshooter wasn't able to fix the problem.

Is this a definitive indication that the wi-fi hardware is *not* working, or is there some other way of testing this?

'Not connected' doesn't necessarily mean the WiFi adapter isn't working, just that you have not yet connected to an available network. If it is working then a list of available WiFi names should appear when you click on the WiFi icon on the taskbar which looks like this

when not connected.

If the list is empty then either the antenna is not connected to the WiFi adapter or the adapter isn't working. This may be a driver problem rather than hardware, so look in Device Manager for any yellow warnings. Also check that the WiFi adapter is not disable in Device Manager.
