Windows 10: Wired network connection keeps dropping

Let me start by saying I have made no changes to the network recently. Out of the blue my desktop started dropping connection. Or at least that is what I will call it. I have a number of computers and streaming devices through the house. Nothing else has been affected. Today my desktop did something it has never done before. It is on a wired network connection and it just quit connecting to websites. The network icon in the systray was normal. No warning symbol. I tried the MS network troubleshooter. Nothing. I tried disabling and reenabling the network adapter. Nothing. I rebooted the computer and everything worked again. At least for a few hours. Then it did it again.

Today it dropped like that 3 or 4 times. Can someone give me some pointers to troubleshoot this?

Internet Connection Keeps Dropping


Hello, are you always connected to the same router - or are you skipping to others? Suggest disabling these settings:




Also check your channel is not congested, and signal strength is adequate. There are freeware tools which can show you this information.

You might have to change band (frequency) - and in one scenario where someone was renting a place it was suggested the owner was restricting Wifi bandwidth...!

I'm sure others more experienced in these issues will comment.

 

Internet connection dropping

I had already tried this and it did not work. I did find an updated driver for my adapter (Realtek) and so far no more problems. Thanks for the suggestion!
