Windows 10: Wifi Disconnects All The Time

I honestly have no clue why this happens, so i will just write down some information that may or may not be useful.

My laptop keeps disconnecting from my home wifi, this happens all the time, but mainly when i'm using it, i have tried all the common methods of fixing this (Reinstall the drivers, update the drivers, roll back the drivers, a bunch of others that were uselessly complicated and did nothing in the end, and un-checking "Allow the computer to turn this device off to save power" in the wireless adaptor properties) and none of them worked, although before un-checking the power saving thing my wifi wasn't just disconnecting, it would just turn off and not even find any connections, but i fixed that and my wifi still keeps disconnecting.


Here's some information on my computer if you need it :

i really don't know what could possibly be useful so i'l just give you some stuff.

i'm running 64 bit windows 10

my laptop is a "HP Pavilion Notebook"

and my wifi card (i think that's what they're called) is this


Manufacturer: Intel Corporation
Description: Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless-AC 3165
Driver version: 19.51.14.1


Again, i don't really know what's happening here so sorry if i just sound like i'm just asking for someone to magically fix everything.

WiFi not automatically disconnecting when out of range


Gunnart,

I had a similar refusal to disconnect from a WiFi profile and I solved it.
- In my particular case, the unwanted network was still in range so I cannot say for certain that my symptoms were exactly the same as yours but they were certainly consistent with yours.
- The solution is not a destructive one so I do suggest you try it.

1 I turned WiFi off then repeated the fairly standard step of removing existing WiFi profiles - Settings, Networks, WiFi, Manage known networks, <select each one in turn>, Forget. Arguably, I could have just done this for the problem network but I was probably not thinking straight at the time.

2 I then opened RegEdit, went to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\NetworkList\Profiles
and deleted every subkey that referred to a WiFi network profile. Again, arguably, I could just have deleted all those that referred to the problem network.

3 I then turned WiFi back on and started from scratch detecting then connecting to the networks I wanted to use. There has been no repetition of the problem.

Some further commentary
A I had changed my internet connection device but had re-used the same network name on the new one.
B There were no strange entries in the list in Settings [step 1 above] & I quite wrongly thought that forgetting them represented a complete clearout.
C When I looked the Registry key [my step 2 above], I found that there were two subkeys with the relevant network name in the Description line.
- In one case, the same network name was repeated in the ProfileName line
- But the other entry contained a Profilename entry that had the expected network name with a suffix [2] after it.
- So my re-use of the name had been identified by Windows after all [I had just been trying to reduce the number of changes I had to work through when I swapped devices and had not thought there could be side-effects].


Best of luck,
Denis

 

Wifi continuously disconnects


This just started happening only a few days ago, I'm not sure what might have caused it, but my laptop will suddenly disconnect from my wifi network. sometimes it won't disconnect, but just stop receiving/sending packets. I can tell this because suddenly my pages are stuck loading and skype is trying to reconnect, but nothing happens until I manually disconnect.

I have tried

• Troubleshooting
  
  But I usually get "Your proxy setting could not be recognized" or something, even though I don't have any proxy settings.
• Uninstalling and then reinstalling the latest driver for my wifi card
• disabling power saving for the wifi card as talked about here
• Everything mentioned on the Microsoft page here

This has been driving me crazy, ethernet works fine. I can connect my phone to wifi and tether it to my laptop, so this shouldn't be a problem with the router.
