  1. laptop will not detect wifi anymore and ethernet not detected at times


    My laptop has been running windows 10 very well for the past month. About 2 weeks ago my computer stop detecting wifi devices. just last week my computer has decided to stop detecting ethernet at random times. sometimes it lasts for 15 min. sometimes it lasts for hours. I do sometimes have internet for 15 min after startup but then it just loses conection. i have tried updating my wifi drivers but it says they are up to date. PLEASE HELP.

    :)

    Windows 10 PC can't discover WiFi PC

    I have upgraded to Win 10 on two PCs. On one, a Dell Optiplex 760, I can access other PCs on the Ethernet but I can't detect those on Wifi. The other PC a Dell Inspiron 530 can detect all devices Ethernet or Wifi. All the network and sharing settings appear
    to be the same.

    My two wifi laptops can detect the two Ethernet computers and access the shared files. The laptops are running Win7 and Vista.

    Strange!

    Windows 10 can't detect our wifi

    Hi,

    My laptop won't detect our wifi connection (laptop currently plugged in to router with Ethernet cable). Haven't had any issues before and wifi working fine with other devices. I've tried network reset and it still won't detect our connection (picking up
    the neighbours fine)

    Hi How old is your router?? They wear out just like all electrical products. I had a Motorola that was 4 years old causing the problems you're having. I bought a NETGEAR and no more problems. If your router is very old, it could be time to replace it.
    Most stores have a two week return. If the new router acts the same, return it and try to find other solutions!
    You could have a internet adapter going bad!!

    Hi If your sure your router is good, you possibly could have a bad internet adapter. Can you connect and stay connected with Ethernet cable. My router recently went bad. You could try a new router. Most stores have a two week return. If new router acts the same, take it back and pursue further solutions!

    Ok Thanks for your reply. Good luck with the professional. Internal Enternet adapters aren't that expensive and are easy to replace! I'll admit I have never replaced one, but the guys that know these things, say it's not that hard. However a laptop may be a little more difficult. Here's all I know!!
