XPS 15 7590, disconnecting Wifi
I got less than a week ago an XPS 15 7590 with a Killer Wi-Fi 6 AX1650 (2x2) and Bluetooth 5.0 card.
An since then this laptop won't stay connected to my wifi for more than 5 minutes, requiring me to manually reconnect every time.
I work with different laptops all the time (and recently I also got a Latitude) none of them has any issue with my wifi.
I also tried disabling drivers, using older versions, going for the most up to date drivers from Killer, and changing the wireless mode.
My latest attempt was to follow the instructions here: (https://www.dell.com/community/XPS/XPS-13-9370-disconnects-from-WiFi-even-in-high-performance/m-p/7276438#M26893) - which did not work.
I definitely need some help here.
Thanks

Hello, I have probably the same problem. I reinstalled the killer driver (i have now this veresion KillerDrivers_2.2.3212_x64.exe). Still keeps me disconnecting from wifi. I ran the diagnostics - but I can't attach the file. I got this message "The file type (.txt) is not supported."
How should I proceed? Thanks

Still same problem.
I ordered an intel 9260. This is the solution.

Reading around more, the AX200 card has a fairly serious ongoing issue. Various driver versions have been tried, connecting it to an AX router though will result in disconnects. Intel don't seem remotely keen on sorting the issue out.
I'd suggest the 9260 replacement and stick the AX200 in a drawer in case Intel pull their finger out at some point.
1 workaround apparently is to force the router and the card to use a low numbered channel (so... around 50 rather than around 120).

Hello! This solution that you gave worked perfectly until some point. Now it doesn't - Wi-Fi is constantly disconnecting. Can you please recommend something else?

Dell support is a joke. When laptop has WiFi connectivity issues, how dell support is adamant about fixing it remotely and not sending a technician to look into the matter. I have sent the pictures and videos as evidence but no help so far.
It is really frustrating and this is last product i would be buying from dell and i will make sure every one know how lousy Dell XPS line is.
1. Color banding - how a product can be released which has such a faulty display quality..
2. Killer wi-fi. real killer.
3. Screen freezing - may be some blame goes to MS.
4. Clean reboot takes 5-10 mins. there you have fastest top of the line premium laptop from dell.
Please arrange a technician who can come and really fix WiFi, it is killing us.
