AC 7265 Locking Up

[nnoah]

Hi!

I'm having some issues with the Intel AC 7265 wifi card in my laptop. Every once in a while, the yellow triangle will appear on the wifi icon in the taskbar. If Chrome is open, it will completely freeze and refuse to open again until the computer has restarted. The computer will no longer detect any wifi networks and if I try to open the wireless networks menu more than once, explorer will freeze as well.

I tried troubleshooting with the built-in network troubleshooter and it hangs on "reset the wifi adapter", I also tried disabling it using device manager but device manager crashes and ipconfig /release also hangs forever. The only solution is to completely reboot the pc.

This problem occurs about every 2 hours and it's pretty annoying.

Does anyone know the solution to this problem?

Laptop model: Asus N551VW

Wireless Card: Dual band wireless AC 7265

Driver version: 19.20.0.6

Please ask if you need more information

Thanks!
