Windows 10: Wifi constantly dropping every 5-10 minutes.

I have recently moved house and I think the size and distribution are much different compared to my last place. I've been plagued with the problem that my wifi will drop out every so often, then be a hassle to reconnect to, constantly saying that the password is wrong or information has changed. I ran a troubleshoot and it gave this error information:Result of diagnosis: Problem foundRoot cause:This computer is continuously switching between two or more wireless routers or access pointsDetailed root cause:Excessive roaming between access points, within a profile or a preferred networkRepair

• 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.

Hi Matt Tygore,

I had the same issue like you and tried all those you written down there. Fortunately recently, I have got this issue resolved by myself. Hope it also work for you..

1) Click on the WiFi signal icon on your computer taskbar to open the WiFi page that contains a list of different network names.
2) Right-click on the WiFi box (please refer to the attached snapshot where the cursor pointed) and you will see a message Go to Settings.
3) Click on Go to Settings, click on Manage Known Networks.
4) On Manage Known Networks, you might see a list of all your saved networks from the past to the current ones (if you had saved not only one network names onto your computer).
5) Right-click on the network names that you don't want and click on Forget to remove them away and, only keep the one network name that you always want to connect with.
6) Open Network Settings which you can found on the WiFi page (the first snapshot), make sure you have turned off for the other settings there (as shown on next snapshot attached).
7) By doing all the above, the WiFi connection will not automatically disconnect itself no matter what you do to the computer (e.g, restart computer or put the computer to sleep).

Good luck!

Despite the age of the pots (made almost a year ago), I found this incredibly helpful... instead of buying an external WiFi card adapter, which could mean wasted money, I applied it and will see if it helps or resolves my issue. Here's what I've done thus far:
