Windows 10: Maddening wireless problem

I have this very odd wireless issue which I am scratching my head about.

I have just set up three brand new (Windows 10) laptops in a big room, 40 ft by 20 ft approximately. All the laptops are identical, high end models. The router (a BT hub) provides high speed fibre broadband and is in the middle of the room near the wall.

Two of the laptops work perfectly wirelessly, the other won't. It drops the connection, or takes ages to load web pages. BUT, it is perfect on ethernet, and, even more mysteriously, is fine on wireless when I take it out of that environment and hook up to a different network. Interestingly this misbehaving one was set up and is situated very close to the router/hub, but switching the laptops around to different parts of the room seems to make little difference.

This odd wireless behaviour appeared very soon after setup, on different browsers, before I installed antivirus on it too. I even set up Windows 10 again from scratch on it but to no avail.

I cannot make any sense out of this at all!

(SOLVED/CLOSED)looking for help with Android phone CONSTANT wireless signal notification

Yeah, thats not a solution she is interested in......I've suggested that course of action. Thanks though.

Just to clarify, I feel that there MUST be a step, or series of steps to turn off JUST the wireless notification sound. Thats what Im driving @ here.

 

Problem with wireless connection

Hi,

What is the make and model of your computer?

I suggest you to follow the steps mentioned in the following link:

Wired and wireless network problems

Also applies to Windows 10.

If the issue persist, I suggest you to un-install the current version of wireless card driver installed and then try to download and install wireless card drivers from your computer manufacturer website and check.

Follow the steps on how to un-install the wireless card driver.

• 
  Press Windows Key + X.
  
• 
  Select Device Manager.
  
• 
  Expand Network adaptors.
  
• 
  Right click on wireless card driver and select
  Un-install.
  

Windows will prompt you to confirm the device’s removal. Click
OK to remove the driver.

After the un-installation is complete, reboot your computer as soon as possible.

Computer will load the network adaptor card. Now you may check with the issue.

If the above steps doesn't help, I suggest you to login to other computer which has internet connectivity, visit the computer manufacturer website of the issue computer and then download the latest driver
for the wireless card and save it to a external flash drive. Once you successfully save the drivers setup file, insert the flash drive on the issue computer and then try to install the drivers and check with the issue.
