I recently had issues with my wireless AC-8265 driver. It was stopping intermittently, so I decided to uninstall it. When I restarted my laptop, the driver reappeared, but after using it for a while, it vanished again from the device manager. Restarting the laptop didn't help. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

If you want to avoid opening your laptop, consider purchasing a USB WiFi adapter. For instance, the ASUS USB AX56 is a solid option for a dual-band connection. Just plug it in and you should be good to go!
If your WiFi isn’t showing in the device manager, it means the computer isn’t recognizing the device. It’s a good idea to check if the adapter is securely plugged in. You might need to check it physically.
First off, try going to the manufacturer's website to download the driver again. After that, install it and see if it resolves the issue. If not, a good option might be to open your laptop and reseat the adapter. If these steps seem too complicated or don't work, you could consider getting a USB WiFi adapter as a backup solution.
