    Windows 10 desktop keeps intermittently dropping wifi


    Good day all- [Operating off of Frontier DSL] I have wireless wifi from both the Arris (Frontier-monthly rental) and a Asus that is set up as a relay for better coverage. Currently all computers are working off wifi as no ethernet wiring is available for their locations. Have one working off Windows 10 and three with Linux Mint. All use Firefox browsers. Linux is solid but W-10 keeps intermittently dropping wifi link whether it is coming from the Arris or the Asus repeater and with both 2.4 or 5G. Because of the Linux working fine I would guess something (settings?) in the W-10 is not right?!?

    Windows 10 Professional (x64) Version 2004 (build 19041.630)

    I have a modem/router coming today to replace the rental from Frontier (no more rent) and as this house has good-solid 75 ohm coax I am going to install gocoax (MoCA) adapters to utilize three legs of the existent wirings. Plan on hooking the Asus directly to an adapter for a repeater point instead of via wireless as it now relays signals from the Arris wirelessly.

    Thanks kindly for reading

    :)

    Windows 10: Wifi drops intermittently

    I upgraded to Windows 10 yesterday from Windows 8.1

    Within 30 minutes of the upgrade, the wifi icon was red. I reset my internet and the computer recognized the internet. Within 10 minutes, I was dropped again. Checked my phone (was connected) and ran a speed test - great results. Cycled through troubleshooting
    for connection issues - claims the issue was fixed - connected again.

    20 minutes go by, the wifi drops again.

    Clearly the frequency of the dropped wifi is troubling...what can I do?

    Computer has ample RAM, a great processor and wifi was never an issue on Windows 8.1

    Anyone know what to do?

    Windows 10: Wifi drops intermittently

    I installed Windows 10 yesterday and I am having the same problem - intermittent outage of WIFI on my Windows 10 computer, although other devices in my home maintain a steady connection. Have any of the suggested solutions provided a permament fix?

    I've found a quick, albeit temporary solution that doesn't require restarting the computer. Right click the WIFI icon, and then click 'Troubleshoot problems.' In just a few moments, It automatically detects the problem and fixes it, and internet access
    resumes. Unfortunately, just like restarting your computer to correct the problem, the fix is not permanent; however, it is a more time efficient temporary remedy.
