Network Connectivity Issue

Hi,

The problem you've encountered with your network connection is most likely caused by an outdated network driver since this appeared after the recent update. We suggest updating the driver for your network adapter. Please follow the steps below:

• Right-click Windows key and click Device Manager.
• Expand the Network adapters category.
• Right-click the one that says Ethernet Connection, then click
  Update Driver.
• Select Search automatically for updated driver software.
• If Windows is unable to find a new driver for your network adapter, try checking its manufacturer's website.

If the above steps don't work, try reinstalling the driver. Here's how:

• Open Device Manager, right-click the name your network adapter, then select
  Uninstall.
• Restart your PC and Windows will attempt to reinstall the driver.
  

Update us with the result.

Regards.

 

Internet Connection Inconsistent

Recently, my wireless internet connection on my laptop has been very inconsistent. It will stay connected for a little while and then will almost always disconnect. It will usually connect and disconnect a lot while I am internet browsing and doing normal
things. When I try to reconnect, it will say that it I am unable to connect to the internet even when it detects my network. How can I make the internet connection consistent and how can I fix this issue?

things I have already tried and looked into:

• I have restarted my computer
• I made sure that other devices can easily connect to my network and stay connected (they can all connect)
• I have updated my network adapter
• I have rolled back to a previous driver of the network adapters and reinstalled the most recent driver
• I have tried using the windows network troubleshooter (brought me here after not working)
• I have used system restore to revert to a time when my internet worked (didn't work)
• I have opened my computer and made sure that my Intel dual band wireless-N 7260 is plugged in

I'm thinking that maybe it is a background service or something that is causing this issue. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
