Hi vladi67, Kindly check if the roaming aggressiveness in the Wi-Fi-card properties is set to High in Device manager.

Hi vladi67,

You would normally find the roaming settings in the advanced tab for Intel Wi-Fi cards. Try switching the antenna from AUTO to AUX in the device manager. Please refer to the below mentioned thread.
