Windows 10: WiFi Drops Out -- Solution

Back in January I posted the same topic: problem receiving wifi in several places around the house, away from the router. Thanks to the responses I thought I solved my problem when I purchased an Extender (TP-Link w/1). Reception did seem to improve, wifi drops seems much less. But the past month it seemed to be going the other direction. I would see -62 to -72 on Wifi Analyzer for the router, and -40 to -45 for the Extender.

The solution I found said that when moving around, the router signal is used, then the laptop may switch to the Extender if reception gets poor. But it doesn't always do that. The solution is two fold. 1) turn off automatically connect to the router, then, 2) give the Extender a SSID (using the same password as the router) and connect to that. My Extender shows up on WA as routername_2.4GEXT.

I never saw this mentioned in the Extender's material, nor recall seeing it posted anywhere else. Maybe this can help someone else.

windows 10 10147 - Atheros Qualcom WiFi drops


hy,
i have question about 10147 release. does anyone else have WiFi drops? it happens like 5-10 times a day. usualy when i search for windows updates(maybe a coincidence?) or when i reboot the pc. then i troubleshooted a bit, i figured out that WLAN autoconfig service stops working. if i restart the service all starts to work again. how can i prevent those kinds of wifi drops? in the mean time, wifi button gets grayed out and the list is empty, like no wireless is in range (it figures .. since service is not running i guess). i checked the event viewer and saw that many services drops out from time to time including sound (realtek). any suggestions would be appreciated. got a clean install here.
thanks

 

Laptop Dropping WiFi

The last couple of weeks I've all of a sudden started having issues with my laptop dropping WiFi. I don't know for sure if there was an update recently that may have caused it or not, but it's very frustrating. Turning off the wifi adapter and back on
fixes it temporarily, but only VERY temporarily is many cases.

Can anyone suggest a solution?

That's what the auto setting will do since you're over the 1333 mark it jumps to the next step which isn't listed or officially supported I assume by that ram.

At this point though I would suggest dropping the multi one step or .5 so that we can get something stable and possibly take the heat issue out of the picture for now.
