Windows 10: Computer Wifi Connection issues

My computer will randomly disconnect from perfectly normal wifi, I could be on the other side of the house, or right next to the router and this happens.


Not only does it disconnect, but it does not reconnect, the signal shows full bars and it just says "cannot connect" when I try reconnecting, both laptops I have had do this, either new or older.


The only way I have of fixing this problem is the restart my computer.


I usually don't care all that much because the times between this happening can be weeks long, but yesterday it kept happening in under 10 minutes of restarting at least a dozen times.


I don't know what could be causing this, I am positive it isn't something I had installed as my older brother used to have the same problems until he got a desktop, and we never had the same things installed, unless it was a widely used platform like steam, to which no one I know has the same issue.


I'm sure its not the computer either because this one has been doing it ever since I bought it brand new, and it is an ASUS where my old laptop was HP and they both had this issue

When will the wifi connectivity problems be solved?

Hi Wabbles and welcome to Tenforums.

I've got 4 systems connecting via wireless; all adapters are different makes; all have zero issues, and two of them are old (wireless-G only). Most every issue I have seen with wireless connections has been driver-related. (Or, impending router failure.) I would suggest identifying your adapter model/make, and searching for different drivers that you can try out. And, sometimes an older driver works better than a newer one (just had this issue on a system I was working on yesterday). Also, verify you have these same connection issues when connecting to different routers, just to rule that out.
