WiFi connection drops, icon vanishes, driver not visible
I own an Asus Tuf f15 that came with Windows 11 already set up. After a year, this problem has begun appearing. The Wi-Fi connection drops, the icon vanishes from the taskbar tray, and in Device Manager under Network Adapter it shows as hidden devices. I've tried several fixes: removing the driver and restarting the laptop (it helps temporarily), updating to the newest driver from the maker, installing an older, more stable version, and resetting the BIOS to factory defaults (it works for a couple days before reverting).
I've already explored every possible solution before thinking about hardware issues. I'm unsure how sure you are about verifying the WiFi card placement or swapping it out completely. This isn't something I've done before, but it shouldn't be much harder than replacing a hard drive. If you prefer not to tackle it yourself, I'd likely look into using the manufacturer's warranty.
