Unable to change profile/IP address with Intel BE200 Wifi card

Good day!
I've been using NetSetMon for over six months to change local IP addresses (One IP uses one ISP, another uses the other) and once configured, worked wonderful. I had an Intel AX211 Wifi card.
Once I've upgraded to a BE200 Wifi Card PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_272B&SUBSYS_00F48086&REV_1A (I have the latest driver installed) there's been problems.
I've tried selecting the dynamic Wifi or the Intel card, no change.

If I do a profile/IP change, I get "Network adapter not found" - but if I do retry, the program believes it works, but the IP address isn't updated/changed now until I restart the PC.

Let me know what other information I can provide to help troubleshoot this.

Please provide screenshots (of the profile configuration and the activation dialog) as well as the activation log (open it at the bottom of the activation dialog).

Also please open the Adapter Details tab in Tools, click the run button, open the correct adapter and take a screenshot of the complete settings as well as the collapsed other adapters, so we get an overview over your adapters constellation.

I'm having difficulty figuring out how to get screenshots posted in this forum. Everything says I cannot post links.

Exactly the same thing here with my brand new Dell Max 18 Pro laptop.
While the same profiles work on other computers, here I get this image:

The adapter is the same type as the one used for the device that triggered this fault message.

Re: Unable to change profile/IP address with Intel BE200 Wifi card

Please open Powershell and run this command:

Get-CimInstance -Namespace root\CIMV2 -ClassName Win32_NetworkAdapter |
    Select-Object Name, GUID, NetEnabled, NetConnectionStatus

Identify your adapter and copy its GUID into this command, then run it as well:

$guid = '{PUT-GUID-HERE}'
Get-CimInstance -Namespace root\CIMV2 `
                -Query "SELECT * FROM Win32_NetworkAdapter WHERE GUID='$guid'"

Is your adapter found? Can it be identified correctly and shows up in the second list?
Please post your results here.

Also, which build of Windows 11 exactly are you using?

Re: Unable to change profile/IP address with Intel BE200 Wifi card

We are communicating with another user who has the same problem at the moment via email. It really helps us understanding and verifying the issue for different affected systems. Therefore your input is very valuable for resolving this issue. Thank you.

Could you please run this PowerShell command as well? It uses a different interface it will most likely show the GUID correctly, but we are interested to see if there are maybe multiple instances for your Wi-Fi adapter.

Get-CimInstance -Namespace root/StandardCimv2 -ClassName MSFT_NetAdapter |
    Select-Object Name, InterfaceDescription, InterfaceGuid, ifIndex, MacAddress
