Rhino kills my internet connection

Hi all, I have a new MSI GF63 Thin 9SC laptop and was having this same issue after installing the Rhino 7 evaluation version. I tried all the suggestions in this thread and nothing worked. After much searching through online forums and a 1.5hr call with MSI service center, I have found a solution that works for my laptop. Initially I was connected to a dual band network while trying to run Rhino and was connected to the 5 GHz band which was causing the connection issues. Changing to the 2.4 GHz band is the fix.

*Open Device Manager
*Open the Properties for your wireless driver under Network Adapters - mine is Intel(R) Wireless-AC 9560 160MHz
*Go to the Advanced tab
*Scroll down to Preferred Band and select “Prefer 2.4GHz band” from the drop down menu

You may need to restart the device for the change to take effect. Mine immediately switched to the 2.4 GHz band and then when I opened Rhino the wifi connection remained stable.

The post by [michal.tofik.olszewski] on this MSI forum had the solution:

Hope this helps!
