I’ve been using an Asus TUF A15 (Ryzen 7 7435HS, RTX 3050 4GB) for about a year, and recently I started facing a weird issue with WiFi and Bluetooth.

At first (around a month ago), the WiFi option would suddenly disappear, but restarting the laptop fixed it. Now it’s worse — after restart the option comes back, but as soon as I try to connect, it disappears again. Bluetooth also stops working sometimes.

I’ve seen many people say it’s due to SSD heating affecting the WiFi card, and suggesting to move the SSD to another slot. But I already have SSDs in both slots, so that’s not possible for me.

My warranty is also over.

So I’m confused about what to do next:

  1. Should I replace the internal WiFi card (thinking about Intel AX200/AX210)?

  2. Or just use a USB WiFi adapter?

Which option would be more reliable long-term?

Thank you in advance
