I'm suspicious some of these driver updates are actually helping. I know it's clearly a driver issue, but as one of the work-arounds is to remove and re-add the card via device manager, any driver update also effectively executes the work-around. In other words, we can't really know for some time whether a driver update is a long-term fix.

I have not done that yet. I'll have to wait to try it until the next one to comes in with a bad connection. That might be a while; instructors are learning how to do the work-around on their own, and will often just connect to the public network and then connect back (or even leave it on public until it breaks there, if that's all they're using).

Also having this problem on approx 20 Ideapad 3 machines (15ILL05). The HP 8.214-226 drivers have not helped, nor has setting the roaming sensitivity to Middle. The resolve the immediate connection, but as faculty move around campus they still have issues. Removing the device and re-adding in device manager does fix it (for a while). We can also work around this by first manually connecting to *any other SSID*, even one with no or poor internet access, and then connecting back to the desired SSID. This might be a simpler work-around for many than what I've seen so far in this thread, especially if you have the ability to setup a dummy SSID for this specific purpose.
