Windows 10: Wifi connection problem

From about a week or two , my wifi connection disconnects randomly on my laptop. It is not the problem of my router as the internet works on all other devices. Also it's just I can't see any wifi devices or even mobile hotspots and mostly I can't even see the wifi option in the network and internet settings. The only way the internet comes back is by restarting the computer but after a while it can be 10 minutes or even 3 hours the internet disconnects again. I have tried all the main ways to fix this like uninstalling and reinstalling wifi drivers and adapters, updating the adapters, network resets and uninstalling updates to my windows. I even bought an external usb wifi adapter but the problem is still persisting.

From yesterday my laptop is even taking longer to restart and at times even after restart there's no internet. And then i restart it again to get the wifi back. My laptop is relatively new, I bought it less than an year ago and it's windows 10, intel core i7.

When will the wifi connectivity problems be solved?


OK, so the Windows 10 engineers bollixed up the wifi connectivity part of the operating system. Everybody knows that by now. It seems they are making some progress in resolving it. Now, instead of seeing "Secured, No Internet" on your list of wifi connections, you see "Connected, Secured" EXCEPT no webpages will load. So you really aren't connected. It does seem to be a step in the right direction. Does anybody know when they plan on a full and complete repair of this screw up of epic proportions?

Hi Wabbles and welcome to Tenforums.

I've got 4 systems connecting via wireless; all adapters are different makes; all have zero issues, and two of them are old (wireless-G only). Most every issue I have seen with wireless connections has been driver-related. (Or, impending router failure.) I would suggest identifying your adapter model/make, and searching for different drivers that you can try out. And, sometimes an older driver works better than a newer one (just had this issue on a system I was working on yesterday). Also, verify you have these same connection issues when connecting to different routers, just to rule that out.
