Windows 10: keeps disconnecting from internet and my secure home wifi network then showing an open...

over the past week or so my computer keeps disconnecting from my secure home password protected wifi network and my eset security popup tells me I am then connected linked to an unsecured network and when I go to the available network list to see whats going on and reconnect it shows a hidden open network..


Its very frustrating and happens in the middle of using the computer on the internet

WiFi Internet Keeps Disconnecting


Hi Gerry Atric and welcome to the forum.*Smile

lol *Biggrin

Don't know if you have tried this, but this is my suggestion:

Settings >Network & Internet > Wi-Fi > Manage Wi-Fi Settings
Go to the settings under the Wi-Fi Sense heading
Turn off "Connect to suggested open hotspots"
and/or
Turn off "Connect to networks shared by my friends"

 

WiFi Internet Keeps Disconnecting


Using Win10 my Sony Vaio laptop connects ok to my BT wireless router but after a short while I lose the Internet connection. This happens because Win10 decides to switch to another wireless network which is secured and I do not have the password. When I disconnect this other network, reconnect back to mine, tick connect automatically I get Internet connection again only to lose it for the same reason a few minutes later. I guess it is WiFi Sense doing this but if so it should be renamed WiFi NonSense. Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug ?
Thanks for any input.
