Windows 10: Frustrating Network Adapter Issues

Hello, I have been having this problem for absolute ages, almost a year, I have a

Windows 10 PC with AMD A6-7310 APU with AMD Radeon R4 Graphics

64-bit Operating System, x64-based processor


and my wireless network adapter is Realtek RTL8723BE 802.11 bgn WI-FI Adapter

I do game on my computer but I don't think that matter too much as I run games that use less power or graphics.


So it was back at the end of 2018 my PC start to automatically disconnect from the wifi when ever I use wifi, I didn't take that as too much of a deal so I kept using my PC. It was until 2019 the problem gets worse and when ever I use my wifi it disconnect and some times it doesn't work at all. in 2-3 minutes after I try to reconnect, it disconnect almost straight away when I started using the WI-FI again. I looked at online help and tutorials and it said that it is the problem of my network adapter and it told me to turn off the option [Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power]. I did so and it did not help at all. I then tried trouble shooting it and I began to get the hardware related error [code 10]. I uninstalled the driver many times through early 2019 but never worked. I then updated my computer OS system and it fixed the problem for about 2 months until it came back again but less severe, I updated the system os again but this time it just made the situation worse, I now have 3 problem that appear randomly when I troubleshoot from times to times, and my wifi usually don't work these are:


"A default gateway is not available"

"Problem with wireless adapter access point"

"Adapter experiencing driver or hardware related problems"


I tried following methods multiple times but none of them worked:


Flush DNS

Network reset

Reinstall Network Adapter

Turn off 'Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power'

Changing the default gateway to 1.1.1.1

Changing default gateway back to automatic

resetting back to default ip

Scan for incompatible drivers

Updating windows 10 OS to 1903

Restarting my wifi module

Disabling the ethernet adapter (Which I don't really need)

Updating driver

Scanning for hardware changes

Trying a new network adapter

Use a different Gateway

Using my personal hotspot

Checking for anti-virus or other incompatible software


I literally ran out of Ideas and there is nothing new to me anymore online, I have done everything this year but nothing managed to fix my network adapter.


It is extremely frustrating and I need urgent help.

What is the cause of this and is there a way to fix it? Do I need to buy a new PC?


Thanks

Harold
