Have you tried disabling windows secure boot?

 

[Arhil]

booting in insecure mode, and fast boot disabled

 

[Brickwizard]

this has been an ongoing problem with this particular MediaTek card, one possible solution to try [from last year]

Mediatek MT7921 WIFI keeps disconnecting. - Linux Mint Forums

 

[Arhil]

i will try that and let You know if it works

i didn't even had a firmware folder usr/lib used

• dpkg -l | grep -E 'linux-firmware|wireless-regdb'
  
  sudo apt remove --purge wireless-regdb
• sudo apt install --reinstall linux-firmware

so evereything went sideways after previous steps drivers were installed but nothing worked, wifi was disabled and bt also. drivers for screen also went missing. very bad combination, finally reinstalled ubuntu 22.04 and for now it works, and boot options that i installed GNU Grab i think finally apears at the start of PC

I had a HP 465 G11 with this Mediatek wifi running Ubuntu 24.04. No 5GHz connection possible, and with 2.4GHz only 22Mbit download.

Now I have simply replaced with Intel Wi-Fi 6E AX210 / Wi-Fi adaptér / M.2 2230 / 802.11ax / Dual-Band 2.4+5+6GHz / Bluetooth 5.2 / M.2/A-E Key.

Now running 450Mbit. So, just replace!

... btw. don't upgrade kernel to 6.11. with the hope to fix the Mediatek issue! It do not fix it. :-(
Instead the display stops working after wake-up plus kernel issue reports. Stay with kernel 6.8.0-45-generic

this Mediatek

Only good thing I have found with MediaTek products, is they make media start [MSI] look dammed awful, I will never buy products by either of them.

I hate Mediatek they cause more problems than RTL, I was expecting a second line on device 2 saying state up or down.
I assume its a laptop of some sort. Occasionally when installing Linux on some machines, it will go into hard block [quite common on Acer] as it is showing a mt driver installed, First thing is to check if a hard block [flight mode] is activated.
