Windows 10: Short, temporary breaks in all network connectivity

I have a Dell XPS8930 running Windows 10 Pro 1803.

It has always suffered from short, temporary breaks in network connectivity - although it has taken me some time to understand this.

For example, when having a conversation over Skype, the app will suddenly show 'problems with network connection' and the audio will stop for a few seconds, then restart. When using an ssh session to talk to another machine on my local network, the connection will drop out and I'll have to restart the session. When browsing, pages will suddenly stop loading, then resume.

I experience identical symptoms whether using a wired Ethernet from the motherboard adapter, when using wired Ethernet through a USB adaptor, and when using a WiFi connection.

Dell has replaced the motherboard but that has not fixed the problem.

Another machine on the same Ethernet connection, or the same WiFi network, never shows the same problem, so I do not believe it's anything to do with my network.


In all other respects, the machine and its software seems completely reliable.


I am at a loss to know who to turn to with this issue. It doesn't feel like a hardware problem, so I think it must be Windows and/or the drivers (which are up to date).

Losing network connection

Hello Dear, if you have a laptop or a PC with a wireless network adapter, you can see a list of available wireless networks and then connect to one of those networks. The wireless networks will only appear if your PC has a wireless network adapter installed, the adapter is turned on, and the wireless access point is in range.

1. Click Start, click Control Panel, click Network and Internet Connections, and then click Network Connections.

2. In the left pane, under Network Tasks, click View available wireless networks.
In case, If you don't see the network you want to connect to, click Refresh network list. If you see the network but the signal is weak, move the PC closer to the wireless router.

3. Click the network you want to connect to, and then click Connect.

4. If you're connecting to a secure network, type the security key, and then click OK.

I Hope you solve out your query soon.
