Hi PHerring1127 sorry for the late reply, here’s the most common fix for Win11 Wi-Fi drops during heavy uploads:
- Device Manager > Network adapters > your Intel/Realtek Wi-Fi > Properties
Power Management: uncheck "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" - Control Panel > Power Options > Advanced > Wireless Adapter Settings > set Maximum Performance: battery + plugged in
- Same adapter > Advanced tab: set Roaming Aggressiveness = Lowest, Transmit Power = Highest, and disable 802.11ax/Wi-Fi 6 to test.
- Install the latest OEM Wi-Fi driver and BIOS from your laptop manufacturer: not Windows Update.
These usually stop the upload-triggered disconnects.
Let us know if this works or not.
