    Wifi-connection lost after uprade from 7 to 10.


    I upgraded from windows 7 to 10-when finished there was a red cross through the wifi icon.Having read numerous forums,I established that there was no old VPN software;I updated the Broadcom 802.11b/g/n software and in network adapter properties,I unticked power management switching off the adapter;also,altered bandwidth to 20_40MHz.As soon as I clicked on that,the wifi switched on!It then works until the computer is switched off;when on again,same problem.If I go to network adapter properties,and disable and then re-enable the adapter,wifi comes on again.I am at my wits end.Has anyone please,please,please got a solution.

    :)

    After upgrading to Windows 10 Wi-Fi connectivity is unstable.

    Original title: windows 10 upgrade

    Updated from window 7 to windows 10 upon completion all worked fine after approximately 30 minutes lost wifi connection every settings looked good so I rebooted and work fine but lost connectivity again after awhile only way to connect is by rebooting wifi
    is working fine. Have another pc which was updated to windows 10 from windows 7 earlier that day with no problems also no problem with tablets using wifi.Internet is Fios 75 up 75 down. George

    Yes, I have seen these symptoms on other notebooks with earlier Windows. The fix is to download the Wi-Fi switch utility or Quick Launcher, install it and configure it to always enable Wi-Fi and Bluetooth on startup.

    I have tried to install quick launcher-all it does is to give me the option of launching IE when I use Firefox.

    Isn't there a key combination to enable Wi-Fi? If you press that you may see a little window where you can configure Wi-Fi to be always enabled.

    Thanks for your advice.Unfortunately after switching off and restarting the laptop,I am back to square one.I have to go into device manager-network adapters-network driver-disable and then re-enable and then it starts!
