The latest Windows 11 update is causing slow speeds and unstable connections when using public Wi-Fi, like the kind your cousin uses while he writes the next great American novel. More specifically, the issue seems to affect devices with certain Qualcomm Wi-Fi adapters and networks that have the 802.11r fast roaming standard enabled. That's the feature that allows devices to swap between access points without having to reauthenticate. This feature is heavily relied upon in places like universities with sprawling campuses, so it's no surprise many places of higher education have been affected.
