What does that mean?
Your PC has built in wifi and it isn't good enough to connect to a router?
If that is the case, then the problem may be with the wifi source rather than the wifi clients? The A6210 isn't likely to be much better than any built-in wifi chip.
I have confirmed it is not my internet being intermittent. Anyone know a solution? I’m starting to get sick of it.
See above. We don't know enough about your setup to be able to begin to guess what is going wrong.
If it is a wifi issue, then maybe you need to get a better router, or an extender.

You could even consider something like Powerline Ethernet to wire your PC to the network.
I can confirm the problem he has described. The latest (A6210) Windows 10 drivers (1.0.0.39) are most likely not fully compatible with Windows 11.
The setup works fine without error messages and it is possible to connect to a WLAN / download files / browse the web, but each time the PC is restarted / shut down a message appears that an app (no further information) has to be closed. After using the internet for a longer amount of time it randomly stops working like the computer had been disconnected from the WLAN. This somehow seems to be caused by "\Wininet\CacheTask" as an app ("Task Host"?) each time prevents Windows 11 from immediately restarting / shutting down after this problem has occured.
My Wi-Fi 6 AX201 Gigabit WLAN Module on the other hand works flawlessly.If further information (computer specs etc.) is needed I will gladly provide them.
Has anybody else the same problem?
Are the Windows 10 drivers working on your (Win 11) PC?
Your feedback would be very much appreciated!
