Windows 10: wifi disconnects occasionally

Hi, I recently updated from Windows 7 to Windows 10. Since then I find the internet wifi signal via extension booster goes down almost immediately I log on. I have to keep going into the internet access symbol, disconnect from my Hub extension then reconnect . Then it's usually OK unless I just leave the pc on for an hour when leaving the room. when I return it's usually disconnected again and I have to go thru the same rigmarole. Has anyone any ideas ? It was fine with Windows 7 and this extension before. Thanks Bri

:)

• If you have an identical laptop try comparing the wifi and security settings of the one that does not disconnect with the one that does. If you find any differences change the settings of the one that does not work to the one that does.

• If you do not have an identical laptop see this post and the three replies for possible solutions: Wifi disconnects every 5 minutes.

@Samuria : If you have any suggestions please reply.

 

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.

 

Wifi is disconnected

My laptop occasionally disconnects from my home Wifi network protected with a password. When I check what is going on I see that my Wifi is a hidden open network. Why is it happening?
