Windows 10: Why do I have to continuously reset my wifi 2 adapter?

So I have Windows 10 but I don't think that is the problem. I have a custom-built PC with a wireless wifi adapter, instead of on ethernet because I cant and I have to troubleshoot every 20-2 minutes, and when troubleshooting it says resetting the wifi 2 adapter.

I already unchecked the setting where it turns off the adapter to save power and it didn't work.

Also, my wifi has been really slow recently but I am connected to the wifi and I have to troubleshoot or I won't be able to use the internet.

"WIFI adapter reset" continuous fault

I have 2 laptops connected to my WIFI.

One works fine without any issues.

The other regularly (at least daily sometimes more often) trips out of the internet - usually at the most important time!

When I open the troubleshooter, the same message comes up:

"WIFI adapter reset - default gateway not available"

It then fixes itself & re-sets ok.........until the next time.

Since this doesn't happen with the other lap top, it can't be the router problem so must be this lap top.

Running Windows 10 - which I upgraded to & didn't have the issue prior to this!

Any suggestions as to what I can do to stop this happening?

many thanks

 

Windows 10 - WIFI 2 - Cant connect

Hi
Myamara,

It is possible that your drivers are outdated or the connection itself has the issue. We suggest that you perform
these methods of troubleshooting
and check if there are any changes:

Method 1: Reset TCP/IP

To do this, follow these steps:

• 
  Run
  Command Prompt
  as
  Administrator.
  
• 
  Run
  this command:
  
  • 
    netsh int ip reset
    and hit
    Enter.
    

Exit
Command Prompt
and
monitor your WiFi connection.

Method 2: Disable auto turn-off of WiFi device.

Go to
Network and Sharing Center. At the
right pane, click
Change adapter settings.
Right-click
on your
connection name(WiFi name)
and go to
Properties.Click
the
"Configure..."
button and go to
Power Management
tab.Uncheck/disable
the
radio button
for
"Allow this device to turn off this device to save power". And then,
Restart the PC(Important).

Method 3: Reconfigure TCP/IP

To do this, follow these steps:

• 
  Run
  Command Prompt
  as
  Administrator.
  
• 
  Run
  these following commands:
  
  • 
    netsh int tcp set heuristics
    disabled
    
  • 
    netsh int tcp
    set global autotuninglevel=disabled
    
  • 
    netsh int tcp set global
    rss=enabled
    

Update us on how it goes.

Regards.

 

Wifi adapter disappears - goes 'hidden'


Running Windows 10 on an Acer laptop. Over the past month, the wifi connection dropped without explanation/warning.

First time, the adapter was visible in Device Manager (with a yellow triangle next to it). An interent search found the suggestion to uninstall it and restart. That worked.

Today, the connection dropped again. In Device Manager at first I could not see the wifi adapter listed. I clicked to see hidden devices and found the adapter and the Bluetooth (which I had not noticed was missing).

I again uninstalled, restarted, and both the wifi and bluetooth have returned.

Anyone any ideas as to what is happening, why it's happening, and what I need to do, please?

I have attached a screenshot of the DM windows as it is now, showing the wifi adapter name, etc.

Thanks very much
