Windows 10: Wifi connectivity

My Toshiba L655 laptop freezes when connected to wifi. It cycles: frozen for a minute, then about 5 seconds of useability before freezing again. Disabling the wifi solves the problem but direct ethernet connection is not always available. Here are some of the things I've tried, not necessarily in this order:


- Scanned for malware

- Run Windows troubleshooter

- Tried everything suggested by Google search

- Deleted wifi adapter in settings & reinstalled

- Updated wifi driver

- Disabled and replaced adapter with dongle

- Updated CMOS

- Full wipe and re-install Windows with latest updates


I've examined Task Manager for suspect activity, tried different access points, reset CMOS to defaults and ransacked the internet for suggestions. While frozen, the hard drive light blinks to indicate activity but nothing in Task Manager looks suspect. I'm looking for fresh ideas.

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.

Hi,

To better assist you with the WiFi connection issue, please answer the following questions:

• Are your other devices able to connect to the same WiFi connection and working fine?
• Have you tried to restart your WiFi router?
• Which OS build version is currently running to your phone?
• What are the troubleshooting steps that you've tried so far?
