Windows 10: Intermittent connection to internet on laptop?

I have a laptop that has just had a clean install of Windows 10 1909, it connects to the internet via a router that runs on my desktop PC, the laptop runs wireless. I have 2 other laptops that are also wireless and work without a problem, but this laptop connects and runs for a while then for no reason I can find, it disconnects and I have to re-connect it again, then it will stay connected for half an hour or so, then disconnect again?
I cannot find the cause and the Windows trouble shooters cannot find a problem with the connection?

Any ideas why this is happening? The internet connection was perfect before the clean install of Windows?

Intermittent internet connection

Hi all,
Basically for the last few weeks I have been having some real problems with my internet in my house. I have a netgear wireless router connected to the phone line (through a microfilter obviously), which is connected to about 4 PCs via ethernet, and 1 PC wirelessly. All other phone sockets in the house have microfilters on as well. This set up has been working fine for a few years now, but recently we got back from holiday and the internet seems really dodgy throughout the house.
Basically what will happen is that sometimes web pages will load and work normally, but quite often they just won't load and firefox will come up with 'page cannot be displayed' or whatever. Usually if you refresh a few times it will load, but basically the whole time the connection is really dodgy.
The router has a constant connection to the internet, which isn't affected when these random dropouts occur, I can check the adsl uptime in the router settings and it shows however long since I last switched off the router.
I have connected a different router (linksys) to the phone line, but got the same problems. Actually one time with the linksys, the internet didn't work at all (although it said it was connected in the router settings page) so I switched back to the netgear.
I have connected a phone (N95) to the wifi and it showed the same symptoms, usually coming up with 'no gateway reply' or something on the screen. This suggests to me that it is not a software (firewall etc) problem with any of the computers. The second router pretty much rules out router problems.
I have phoned up my internet provider (tiscali :shadedshu) and havent really got much help. Basically they ran some diagnostics and couldn't find any problems with the connection. Today when I phoned them they told me to plug the router into the master phone line in the house, and they are going to monitor the internet usage for the next 24 hours and get back to me. I suspect they won't find anything.
I have no idea what could be causing these problems, it is really getting annoying! *Bang Head :banghead:

Can anyone help me out? *Confused I've never experienced anything like this so I can't really come up with any ideas...
