Windows 10: Ethernet or Wifi Suddenly disconnecting in Windows 11

Hey!I'm using this 5-6 month old laptop, on which I recently noticed the ethernet disconnecting, for which I had to do a system restore and it worked, before stopping again. I don't install much of random stuff, and work with only what I have installed since I bought the laptop. Recently I see the wifi icon disappearing and I also performed a system restore for that, and it's working again for now. But I don't have any restore points for when the ethernet worked, and it is not working. How do I stop this problem from happening? Is it some sort of bug?When they don't work, I see a little exclam

Windows 11 ethernet keeps disconnecting.

My ethernet keeps disconnecting randomly, especially after heavy usage on Windows 11 Pro. It usually stays disconnected until restart.

My components:

• MSI B550 Tomahawk
  
• Ryzen 7 3700x
  
• GTX 1080 TI
  
• DA850 Gold Silverstone – power supply
  
• Patriot Viper 4 Series DDR4 32GB (2x 16GB) 3200MT (PV432G320C6K)
  
• P5 M.2 SSD
  

What have I tried:

• Changed ethernet cable to new one. – I have tried both ethernet ports on MOBO
  
• Reset modem settings and restart modem.
  
• Almost all software tweaks that I have found online – multiple settings (reset network….etc.).
  
• Upgrade network drivers
  
• Completely fresh reinstall Windows 11
  
• Change power supply and SSD drive.
  
• Update BIOS to the latest version.
  

I'm currently considering that the problem might be related to Windows 11 itself, given that my other computer that runs on Windows 10 doesn't encounter the same issues. It could also be an issue with the modem itself or a possible hardware malfunction. Interestingly, when I utilize an external WiFi dongle, the WiFi connection seems to work flawlessly. I'm open to suggestions for potential solutions or fixes.

 

Bridging wifi and ethernet connections – wifi keeps disconnecting

Hi all,

I am trying to use Windows to bridge my wifi connection to non wifi devices. I have successfully setup the bridge in Network Connections. However, the wifi only stays connected for a few seconds before it disconnects (everything is working as expected, with wired devices having internet access, until wifi disconnects). This seems to be something to do with the ethernet cable being connected, as when I disconnect the ethernet the wifi stays connected.

Things I have tried:

• Turning off power management and checking bios for any funky power management settings
  
• Setting "Priority & VLAN" to disabled
  
• Disabling "Automatic metic" and setting wifi to priority order – though you don't seem to be able to change this for specific connections when bridged.
  

Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

P.S. everything works fine with bridge disabled and using internet connection sharing enabled on the wifi. However I am unable to connect to devices such as printers (hence why I am trying bridged mode).

 

Wifi continuously disconnects


This just started happening only a few days ago, I'm not sure what might have caused it, but my laptop will suddenly disconnect from my wifi network. sometimes it won't disconnect, but just stop receiving/sending packets. I can tell this because suddenly my pages are stuck loading and skype is trying to reconnect, but nothing happens until I manually disconnect.

I have tried

• Troubleshooting
  
  But I usually get "Your proxy setting could not be recognized" or something, even though I don't have any proxy settings.
• Uninstalling and then reinstalling the latest driver for my wifi card
• disabling power saving for the wifi card as talked about here
• Everything mentioned on the Microsoft page here

This has been driving me crazy, ethernet works fine. I can connect my phone to wifi and tether it to my laptop, so this shouldn't be a problem with the router.
