Windows 10: Frequent Disconnections

For some time now I have been getting frequent disconnections most days. There Are some days when its ok but more often than not I will get several 1 second disconnections a day and then it comes back online.

We recently had an engineer out to modernise our main telephone faceplate as the original one was rather old so I don' think that is the likely cause.

My internet is provided by a powerline 1200 adaptor with gigabit ports. It only connects to my PC.

We have 3 PCs with internet, a few mobile devices which use WiFi and one tv with a powerline adaptor.

Our electrical circuit and associated wall sockets are quite old and I wonder if they may possibly need updating also.

I have the latest stable build.

There seems to be no pattern to the disconnections.

I rely on an stable internet connection for my work so its annoying when I have this issue.

Its rather late here now so I'll check back here tomorrow.

Frequent Wi-Fi Disconnections

Based on the information that you have provided, there is a possibility that the distance of the computer from the router can cause the issue. However, you can also perform the suggested solutions on this

link to resolve the issue.

If you are still experiencing the same issue after performing the steps, we recommend that you try to move the computer within at least less than 20 feet away from the router. After that, check if there is a difference with the
connection status.

Let us know how it goes.

 

Frequent Wi-Fi Disconnections

Thank you for replying.

1. The issue has become the most noticeable when I moved to the house I am currently at. My router is on the ground floor and my computer is on the third floor. Thing is my iPad (yuck) can connect just fine up here.

2.. Yes I would experience very infrequent disconnections (Like once a week compared to every half hour here.).

3. No

4. I believe 3-4, so not many

5. It happens in all games and also when I am not gaming

Thank you for helping me!

 

I had a similar problem, which the technician was unable to fix. After a few months of having to unplug my router and plug it back in, the company repaired some downed lines in my area, and the problem went away. There might be other causes, but that's one possibility.
