Windows 10: hp laptop with Windows10 keeps disconnecting from wifi and I have tried everything

Okay. SO. Not sure how long this has been happening at least since the beginning of May and it is now the end of June but my computer keeps disconnecting from the wifi. And I don't mean like one to three times a week or in a day. I'm talking about it is happening every few minutes.


It wasn't this bad at first. It started off happening only a few times a day but has progressively gotten worse. I can't play a song halfway through without it happening twice. And when I click on my networks button, it says that I'm connected, even though it's not working. Sometimes it'll fix itself after not working for a few minutes, which is why I think I notice it less while I'm just browsing the internet versus when I'm streaming music or video. No website or streaming platform has been immune, and none of the other devices connected to our wifi has done this. This isn't a new laptop either. I've had it for a year and a half now and I've never had this kind of problem with this or any other laptop/computer.


I have tried every method I can find with a simple google search, even reinstalling Windows. I have reset my router and modem multiple times and restarted my computer multiple times. All of my drivers say there are no updates I need and every troubleshooter/diagnostic test I've run has either said there is nothing wrong or basically said "hey, you're not connected to a network" like yes. OBVIOUSLY. I know next to nothing about computers, but I've been getting help from my brother who knows at least a bit about this stuff he's the one who suggested reinstalling Windows as a last resort. Now we've hit a wall of what he knows and thinks I should do so I'm posting this begging for help. I'm a college student so my computer is vital in my everyday use especially right now and I'm just so frustrated and fed up with this issue.


PLEASE if you know something, help me!

my son laptiop wifi disconnect after 5 minutes

• If you have an identical laptop try comparing the wifi and security settings of the one that does not disconnect with the one that does. If you find any differences change the settings of the one that does not work to the one that does.

• If you do not have an identical laptop see this post and the three replies for possible solutions: Wifi disconnects every 5 minutes.

@Samuria : If you have any suggestions please reply.

Laptop disconnects from Wifi at random intervals


My laptop is randomly disconnecting from my new router. Sometimes it's every few minutes, sometimes it can be an hour or two in between disconnections. This only seems to effect wireless devices and I notice it most often on my laptop. The router is a Fritz!Box 7490 and is connected to 2degrees Internet. The message in the WLAN event log is :

[table][tr][td]Wireless LAN device deregistered itself (5 GHz). MAC address: 64:BC:0C:6A:79:62[/td] [/tr] [/table]

The weird thing is that if I disconnect from wifi and reconnect it re-establishes the connection near instantly. Sometimes it just shows as connected to wifi but not to the internet.

I have tried factory resetting the router (As suggested by 2degrees Internet) and I've tried setting my laptop DNS settings to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4. I have also tried to change the wifi channels in case of interference.

Any suggestions or advice is welcome and I'm happy to provide extra info on request. Thank you for your attention.
