Windows 10: Laptop Randomly Disconnecting from Wifi

Hello,

This is my first time posting to the ****munity, so I apologize in advance.


So, I have a HP Pavilion Notebook. It's several years old.


The past ~6 months my laptop has randomly disconnected from my Wifi. It will read "connected" to my Wifi network, but that no internet is available. When this first started, it was only for maybe a minute max, and then it would automatically reconnect. But it has become longer and longer periods of becoming unconnected and not reconnecting. It has also started disconnecting, reconnecting, disconnecting, reconnecting, over and over again. And just today, I turned my laptop on and it said it was just straight up unable to connect to the Wifi Network at all for quite sometime. After being on for awhile, it was able to connect.


I have run troubleshoot, it recommended resetting the Wifi, which I have of course tried, but that does not solve the problem. After that, it has no other suggestions.


Since this problem has began, I did change internet providers, and my husband's computer has no issues with connection, so I have kind of deduced that it is my laptop that has a problem, not a Wifi problem.

I have checked for Network Adapter Driver updates, says it's up to date. The option to roll back is greyed out.

If I were to uninstall the driver, I don't quite understand how I would go about reinstalling it without ability to connect to the internet?

My computer knowledge is very limited, so please be detailed in instruction.


Thank you in advance.

Windows randomly disconnects WiFi

Hello,

After installing 1903 update, my wifi randomly disconnects. I've to disconnect and reconnect wifi to make it work again.

Can anyone suggest some tips to solve this issue?

• If you have an identical laptop try comparing the wifi and security settings of the one that does not disconnect with the one that does. If you find any differences change the settings of the one that does not work to the one that does.

• If you do not have an identical laptop see this post and the three replies for possible solutions: Wifi disconnects every 5 minutes.

@Samuria : If you have any suggestions please reply.

 

Laptop disconnects from Wifi at random intervals


My laptop is randomly disconnecting from my new router. Sometimes it's every few minutes, sometimes it can be an hour or two in between disconnections. This only seems to effect wireless devices and I notice it most often on my laptop. The router is a Fritz!Box 7490 and is connected to 2degrees Internet. The message in the WLAN event log is :

[table][tr][td]Wireless LAN device deregistered itself (5 GHz). MAC address: 64:BC:0C:6A:79:62[/td] [/tr] [/table]

The weird thing is that if I disconnect from wifi and reconnect it re-establishes the connection near instantly. Sometimes it just shows as connected to wifi but not to the internet.

I have tried factory resetting the router (As suggested by 2degrees Internet) and I've tried setting my laptop DNS settings to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4. I have also tried to change the wifi channels in case of interference.

Any suggestions or advice is welcome and I'm happy to provide extra info on request. Thank you for your attention.
