Windows 10: Wifi connectivity problem

Hi


Over the past week or so,my internet connection(Wifi) has been disconnecting.I am using a TPlink Wireless USB adapter:-

When my internet goes off,i have an icon on the taskbar that says my USB adapter is disconnected.But my my USB adapter is still plugged in!?.


Most times my Wifi reconnects automatically,but sometimes i have to remove my USB adapter and reboot my PC and then plug in my USB adapter to reconnect to the internet.


Is there any way to fix my Wifi connection so that it is stable and on all the time.


Thanks


Colin


PS I have been in touch with my Wifi provider,but they're having trouble identifying the problem.

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.
