Windows 10: WiFi Drops Out

I have a Dell 17" laptop, fresh load of w10 Home (v2004, build 1901) and alleged updated drivers, Verizon fios through a Verizon Actiontec M1424WR router, 3 floor house, router on 1st, S end room (and no it can't move due to cabling, etc), whew.

I'll be using the laptop on the 3rd floor, N bedroom diagonally, maybe 60' away, late evening, working fine for maybe 1/2 hour. Then it drops out, I'll wave it around or sometimes have to go into the hallway to reestablish connection. This also happens with my old Dell 630 running XP. Once reestablished it's fine again for a while.

What the heck is going on???

Maybe a pad online, but usually the only wifi device as all desktop computers are hardwired.

Any thoughts??

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

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.

And now you know why Microsoft didn't release 10147 as an official build.
