Windows 10: My wifi has decided to disconnect at random intervals and I don't know why

My wifi Nextlink will not stay connected to my laptop. It will work fine for a couple minutes, then randomly disconnect or slow down to the point where it might as well be disconnected, and will not come back until I manually reconnect, even though it is set to reconnect automatically. There's no specific times where it happens, it does it at random intervals all day. This problem started about last Friday March 4th, and is only present on this specific computer, nothing else in the house has ever had this problem before. Running the troubleshooter will typically just say "fixed problem wi

Wifi keeps disconnecting seemingly at random intervals

I have a brand new HP Pavilion laptop that I received for Christmas. Ever since I first installed windows and connected to the WiFi I have had an issues where it disconnects at random intervals. Sometimes its hours in between and some times it is minutes.
When I first lose connection to the WiFi the status still shows I have a strong connection, but when I disconnect it first says the WiFi is turned off and takes several attempts to reestablish connection.

 

Laptop disconnects from Wifi at random intervals

Thanks for the suggestion, both of those settings are already turned off.

 

Laptop disconnects from Wifi at random intervals


My laptop is randomly disconnecting from my new router. Sometimes it's every few minutes, sometimes it can be an hour or two in between disconnections. This only seems to effect wireless devices and I notice it most often on my laptop. The router is a Fritz!Box 7490 and is connected to 2degrees Internet. The message in the WLAN event log is :

[table][tr][td]Wireless LAN device deregistered itself (5 GHz). MAC address: 64:BC:0C:6A:79:62[/td] [/tr] [/table]

The weird thing is that if I disconnect from wifi and reconnect it re-establishes the connection near instantly. Sometimes it just shows as connected to wifi but not to the internet.

I have tried factory resetting the router (As suggested by 2degrees Internet) and I've tried setting my laptop DNS settings to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4. I have also tried to change the wifi channels in case of interference.

Any suggestions or advice is welcome and I'm happy to provide extra info on request. Thank you for your attention.
