I have a Dell computer with the wireless adaptater « Qualcomm QCA61x4A 802.11ac » which supports Wifi in 5GHz. However, I’ve recurrent deconnections when being connected to my 5GHz network, even if all my other devices don’t have any issues. It works well with the 2.4GHz network.
I’m on Windows 10 and after trying many different things, I found a workaround:
- Open a CMD window (by pressing
Windows key + X
, then selectWindows PowerShell (Admin)
) - Then type:
netsh wlan set autoconfig enabled=no interface="Wi-Fi"
- You won’t see any WiFi network anymore from the Wifi icon, but it stops the issues with the connectivity
If you need to connect to a different network, or if you have restarted your computer, you may need to turn it on again with the below command:
netsh wlan set autoconfig enabled=yes interface="Wi-Fi"
Once connected, make sure to turn if off again.
