  1. Frustrating internet problem, wifi adapter keeps disappearing?


    Hello, for the past two months or so, i've had this problem with my computer and it's been very confusing trying to figure it out.So, it starts by the internet going out, suddenly, the computer will say it can't connect to my network. Half the time, this is easily fixed by disabling and then re-enabling my computer's wi-fi adapter. that is, if it doesn't go out again minutes later.The other half of the time, once i re-enable it i will be informed that there are "no connections available". Sometimes, the settings window will even crash. Suddenly, there will not even be an option for a wi-fi a

  2. WiFi Adapter question

    To be honest, I keep losing my wifi connection and Im almost positive its not due to my internet connection or Router or anything like that. VERY often, everyday, all day it keeps happening. The troubleshooter always resolves it by "reset wifi-adapter" (I believe this is the step it takes that resolves the problem) before it happens again anyways.

    Its driving me nuts !

    Most time when it suddenly goes out (the connection) all the networks that should be in "show available networks" or all but the one I was connected to, disappear. I run the troubleshooter and it ends in resetting the wifi adapter. And it works. 10 minutes later, it happens again. Im trying to pin down the problem here.

    Thank you for your help.

    Problems when sharing WiFi with the Virtual Adapter

    For many years I have always shared Internet to my devices like phone and tablet with my PC's WiFi antenna through the Microsoft Wi-Fi Direct Virtual Adapter, I only use it for that, since I have a cable connection, and I start the wifi with the command NETSH WLAN start hostednetwork previously having done the settings of NETSH WLAN set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid="Wifi" key="password".

    For my devices to connect it is necessary that the Virtual Adapter that is created with that command has access to the Internet, for this I have to share the Internet from my Ethernet adapter to the Virtual Wifi adapter.

    For some time now (a couple of months) I've been experiencing problems when sharing the Internet through that medium. The problem is that when I start the WiFi my devices do not connect, they say "Getting IP address" and never connect.

    I have found the solution and I have to do the following:

    1. Disable the Virtual Adapter with the command netsh wlan stop hostednetwork.
    2. Remove the connection sharing from the Ethernet Adapter.
    3. Activate the Virtual Adapter with the command netsh wlan start hostednetwork.
    4. Adding connection sharing from the Ethernet Adapter to the Virtual Adapter again.

    By doing these steps my devices can now be connected to the Wifi, but sometimes it doesn't work if I do these steps too quickly. I have noticed that if I do step 3 and 4 too quickly it does not work and I have to repeat the process but doing these last two steps more slowly, until the Virtual Adapter gets an IP address 192.168.137.1 from Internet Protocol version 4

    Also this problem does not occur 100% of the time. Sometimes when I run the command to start the Wifi everything happens fine and my devices connect well but this only works after my PC has been on for at least 5 minutes (I haven't counted it). If I run the command as soon as my PC has turned on then it doesn't work anymore.

    As I mentioned before this problem didn't occur before because I had configured a .bat file that ran as soon as the PC was turned on with the NETSH WLAN start hostednetwork command and everything worked fine.

    Now, I would like to go back to before when everything was fine so that when my PC starts up the WiFi too and I don't have to do all this protocol all the time, but with a simple command everything is solved.

    Could someone give me a hand with this?

    Wifi Adapter keeps disconnecting from my internet

    Hi there, I'm John D, and I am an independent advisor.

    I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble with your wifi adapter disconnecting when downloading large files on your new Dell computer. I can understand how frustrating it must be to constantly pull and unplug the adapter in order to reconnect to the internet.

    As an independent advisor, I would recommend that you first try resetting your wifi adapter and your router. This can often resolve connectivity issues and may help to stabilize your internet connection. You may also want to try updating your wifi adapter's drivers or firmware to ensure that it is running on the latest version.

    If these steps do not resolve the issue, it may be worth considering replacing your wifi adapter altogether. It's possible that the adapter that came with your Dell computer may not be compatible with your internet connection or may be faulty.

    I hope that these suggestions are helpful and that you're able to get your internet connection stabilized soon. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any further questions or concerns.

    Best regards,

    John D.
