Windows 10: Wifi drops on only one device on only one network

Hello.I have an issue with my laptop and its internet connection.Laptop is an Asus TUF Gaming A172021 running windows 11.The problem I have is that for like a month or two now I have had connection drops when connected to my home wifi. The laptop is still connected to the network it just suddenly says No internet when I check the status in the settings. When I disconnect and reconnect it immediately works. What is weird about it is that none of my housemates had the same issue and I also don't have this problem on any of my other devices. At first I thought that maybe something is wrong with

Small business Wifi Network for 20-30 Devices?

I have been looking at this exact problem myself with the same range of numbers. I've found there are a wide range of choices and performance of the network very much depends on how much money you're willing to put into it.

Our wifi consisted of a single modem/router and the devices were only requesting internet access, the problem we were getting was either devices getting dropped off the network or just very little internet access at all when it was connected. From doing some studying I concluded that i could improve the performance by separating the roles, having a modem dealing with the connection to the outside world and DHCP and having a more powerful router handle the wireless devices (the router I was looking at was the model down from your suggested one, the Asus RT-N66U), you could probably go one further and add a low spec'd server box dealing with DHCP, DNS, etc. This was the cheapest option but left no real room for scaling up devices.

The other was as has been suggested, getting a wireless controller/gateway with multiple access points, obviously the cost scales higher but you also increase the overall capacity of the network with good performance, and usually with a good controller you can further add more access points to increase range/devices.

I think in this case it's very much you get what you pay for.
