Windows 10: Intermittent WiFi problems after Windows update

Hello

I have encountered Wi-Fi connectivity issues on my Windows 10 laptop since mid-October 2019. I think some updates were installed then (automatically). Every few seconds, the laptop loses Internet connectivity. Other devices on the same Wi-Fi network work well.

I tried to uninstall the updates, but they seem to be reinstalled and a security update cannot be uninstalled.

Any help appreciated.

Wifi and browser problems with windows 10


I'll tell you how I fixed an identical problem on a ASUS laptop that had run perfectly on Windows 7 and ran well on W10 from January until the Anniversary update in early August. I tried everything I found on this forum and two others. Nothing worked. The last thing someone suggested was disabling the adapter and using a WiFi dongle. Problem continued. Nobody suggested changing the wireless network adapter. I bought and installed an Intel 7260 WiFi card and just used the driver which was downloaded on the reboot after the install. All problems solved!!

I must have wasted two months reading and trying everything. Even the manufacturer support inferred I needed a new machine though they sent me a Windows 8.1 driver to try, with the same result.

I'd suggest contacting the manufacturer to determine if they white list any cards and see if they have suggestions for a compatible card. They may want you to buy another laptop but if the cards aren't white listed, a simple card swap to one compatible with Windows 10 seems to be the answer.

Check DNS settings for both network adapters. Your Wifi might be set to use a different DNS server.

Option Two follow steps then pick a DNS server from the list in item 7. Personally I use CloudFlare DNS

EDIT: Reset router first as already suggested.

 

Intermittent WiFi after Anniversary Update

Hi Aleksas,

I appreciate you for trying some steps in order to get the issue fixed.

I would request you to update the router firmware as it may include some settings for the router so that it works flawlessly with the anniversary update.

Please revert if you still face issue with intermittent WiFi.

Thank you.
