Elitebook 850 G8 looses Wifi freequently

[hakinnen]

Hello guys,

My HP Elitebook 850 G8 losses wifi network frequently.

I installed new Wifi driver for Intel Adapters (AX201) - 22.170.03 version, but issue is still.  

I saw a similar case to mine on the forum.
The recommendations were as follows:

 1. Download and install BIOS Update

HP BIOS and System Firmware

01.10.00 Rev.A

 2.  Download and install WiFi-22.160.0-Driver64-Win10-Win11.exe driver.

I have the following question before proceeding to the steps mentioned.

Does the combination solve the problem only with these versions or can it also with the latest BIOS versions and WiFi Driver ?
