Windows 10: Annoying Windows 10 WiFi Issue

I'm having this really odd issue with WiFi on Windows 10..

I'm using WiFi in my uni dorm, i've brought my own access point so ive got my own WiFi set up essentially, but every so often windows shows as connected to the network but certain sites wont load, whilst this is happening the network name on the laptop shows up with a 2 at the end? So my network's name is 'NETGEAR' but when its having this issue windows displays it as 'NETGEAR 2'

Facebook and YouTube will load with no issue at all, but then everything else, times out, its really odd

I've had the same issue on three windows laptops (Dell XPS 7590, HP Envy x360 & Lenovo ideapad 510s)

This never happens on my iPhone and never happened with my Macbook, so i'm assuming its windows, my laptop doesn't seem to do this on other networks though. I've tired to different browsers, all the same. Only have Malwarebytes installed on the machine. it does this on 2.4GHz and 5GHz. Ive also tried running the windows troubleshooter but it returns no issues. Also all drivers are up to date and ive done all current windows updates.

Windows ver 1909 & 1903 both tried and problematic

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

New install Windows 10 (issue solved)

It's good that you're not experiencing any issues. Unfortunately many folks are, a quick Google search will show the same info im offering the OP.

Heres a couple examples:

It's basically what I mentioned above, small issues here and there ,but nothing to end your day.. for the most part.

I know it's anecdotal, but for my experience 95% of the time it's perfectly fine. The issues I've run into wouldn't be enough for me to roll back , but they would be enough (had I not installed it yet) ,to avoid it for another couple weeks which is why I'm suggesting it to the OP
