There is uncertainty about the cause, bad series of Smartphone or problem caused by excessive temperature.
In view of the number of new cases on Rog5s purchased recently and new failures after replacement of the motherboard, the hypothesis of the bad series is less and less certain.

There are certainties.
It is a hardware failure, no update will repair the Wifi
By continuing to use the devices with the WiFi failure, they become completely dead.

Save your data to the cloud and send it to the service center.
