Windows 10: Weird WiFi connection drops at random

I'm getting these weird WiFi drops that happen randomly. I'm almost positive it's my pc's fault. One minute it'll be fine, then all of a sudden pages stop loading and after a minute or so the WiFi icon in the bottom right changes to "connected, no internet"

I can usually fix the issue by disconnecting from WiFi, forget network, reconnect

If that doesn't work, a restart does it.

Anyone know why this is happening or where the root of the problem is?

Windows 10 dropping wifi connection

My laptop keeps dropping the wifi connection. It then says it can't find any wifi networks. Eventually it connects again for 5-10 minutes before it drops again. None of my other devices have any problems with the wifi network. I have followed all the steps
here repeatedly and nothing has made any difference:

Any ideas what to try next? It's driving me mad! Thanks.

 

Acer Aspire V5 wifi connection drops & proximity issue

I am having a weird problem on Windows 10 with my wireless adapter recently. My wifi connections perform very poorly when my laptop is not in line-of-sight with the router. As soon as there is something between my laptop and the router, like when I move to a different room, the throughput starts dropping significantly to a point where my browser gets stuck and the wifi connection gets dropped and I cannot connect to it again until I am back in the same room as the router.

1. This has started happening since I performed a clean install of Windows 10.
   
2. This happens only on 2.4 GHz networks. 5 GHz networks work flawlessly.
   
3. I have Ubuntu installed natively as a second OS & I don't see this problem there. So i guess my hardware is not at fault here.
   
4. I never had such an issue with Windows 7, 8, 8.1 previously.
   
5. wifi signal strength is not an issue.
   

I have tried:

1. different driver versions.
   
2. different wifi networks on different routers in different locations with different levels of interference.
   
3. changing every available router setting value.
   
4. changing every available adapter settings properties.
   
5. Google, Windows 10 Feedback app, Microsoft help.
   
6. everything else i could think of.

I have been trying to tackle this issue for over a couple of months now. Has anybody encountered such an issue? Can anybody suggest anything that I might have missed?
Thanks.

Update: A full PC reset also failed to solve the issue

 

Internet connection randomly dropping through WiFi connection


Dear all,
I generally have good WiFI connection, but in two rooms so I am running a TP-Link system for Wifi through my powernet, which provides me with WiFI in our working space. No problems here.
I have been noticing that on my laptop, when I sit in the living space, my internet connection is dropping WITHOUT losing connection to the WiFi network. This makes me reset my adapter but mostly without succes. Sometimes it spontaneously regains internet connectivity. This happens at random (to me). My cell phone doesn't have the same problem, nor does my GF's computer.
I notice that when i go back to the workspace (where wifi is distributed through my TP-link), more often then not I instantly regain connection. Which makes me think this is a problem of IP adress that is different when switching from Wifi through router and Wifi through TP-link?

Here is the runout for my ipconfig /all and
Output for 'netsh wlan show all'
