Windows 10: Laptop keeps dropping network connection.

I have an ASUS ROG laptop and whenever I am playing video games online, my WiFi would randomly drop until I exit out of the game and reconnect. I have experienced disconnections about 3 to 4 times yesterday and have been looking for solutions. This isn't my WiFi because whenever my connection drops on my laptop, all the other devices in my house such as my phone and other computers are still connected. It only happens when I'm playing games on my specific laptop.

I've already tried going into Device Manager > Network Adapters > And turning off power saving mode on my Wireless Network Adapter.

This has not solved the issue. Anyone have any suggestions on what I can try?

Laptop drops connection to wireless network randomly.

My daughter has a laptop that keeps losing it's connection to the local wireless network - any local wireless network.
It will connect to any network, using security passwords, but then just drop off, after random amounts of time, ending in the message "The specified network is not available". A complete shutdown and cold start will allow a connection again, briefly.
Everything works fine on wired Ethernet cable.

Looking for any potential fixes I have not already found on the interwebs (list below).
When she gets here today I am going to generate a Wireless Network Report (netsh command). Let me know if it would be helpful to see that report.
Tried:

• Updating the driver to the most recent one on the MS Update Catalog
• Making sure "allow the PC to put this device to sleep" is unchecked
• All other wireless devices connect to the LAN fine
• Move the laptop to the same room, withing 10 feet of the router.
• Reset the router
• Problem happens on 3 wireless LAN's.
• Created a Guest network with no security protocols.
• Problem happened before and after the 1903 upgrade
• USB selective Suspend: disabled
• Changed the Scan Valid Interval
• Set WLAN Auto Config in Services to Auto (was on Auto)

 

Internet Connection Keeps Dropping


Hello, are you always connected to the same router - or are you skipping to others? Suggest disabling these settings:




Also check your channel is not congested, and signal strength is adequate. There are freeware tools which can show you this information.

You might have to change band (frequency) - and in one scenario where someone was renting a place it was suggested the owner was restricting Wifi bandwidth...!

I'm sure others more experienced in these issues will comment.

 

Internet connection dropping

I had already tried this and it did not work. I did find an updated driver for my adapter (Realtek) and so far no more problems. Thanks for the suggestion!
