I searched for the Internet and some Anons suggested resetting the Network-Adapter by disconnecting them from power. (i.E.: https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/723829 )

So, I executed the following steps:

1. Removing the Motherboard from ANY power source (even took the battery off)
2. pressed power button several times to unload capacitors
3. waited ~5 mins and connected power cable and inserted battery
- Then, after booting into the system, the network was not loaded at all.
4. opened the shell and executed `$ sudo modprobe mt7921e`
- Everything was working now.

I am using/restarting my PC daily and there was only on occurrence where the WLAN was not working, a second
`$ sudo modprobe mt7921e`
fixed it.

Strangely enough, I loaded the mod before I did the power surge, so I only can narrow it down to that step.
