G14 wifi not reconnecting automatically

[shinegull]

I have a G14 from 2020. I've noticed that the wifi does not reconnect on its own. This could be home wifi, public wifi, any wifi network. The laptop could be waking from sleep, or on startup. I can connect it manually, and there would be no problems in connection, I dont get any loss of signal. once its connected, it will stay connected. I do not notice it cutting out at anytime once its connected. The only issue is that it does not reconnect on its own. Laptop would start up or wake up with wifi active, and able to search for devices. but it will not connect on its own.

 

Sorry, just want to cut down on those that say, "check if the wifi card is on or not, etc."

 

The steps I have tried are as follows.

1. I have deactivated, then reactivated, manually connected. then restart. No change

2. Deactivate. Restart. Activate. Restart. No change.

3. Clicking the check box for reconnect automatically, to unchecked. checking it again. restart. no change

4. forgetting all previously connected wifi. reconnect. restart. no change

5. forget all wifi. restart. connect. restart. no change

6. updated all drivers, no change

7. physically undoing cables, then reconnect cables. no change

 

short of formatting, I have done everything I could think of. Any suggestions?
