Windows 10: Wired PC internet connection keeps dropping then reconnecting randomly

New Dell All-in-One PC. Windows 10. Wired connection to new Talktalk router. Fibre service.


Last week I was getting a download speed of around 20mbps with uninterrupted connection.


Now my speed is only 10mbps -- and the connection keeps dropping out -- then coming back on. It carries on like that with no steady service.


The only thing that changed prior to this was a Windows update -- and I installed a driver for a Wacom device. Concerned that it was this last change that has wrecked my connection I uninstalled the Wacom driver. But it has not helped.


I am only getting half the previous speed and a dysfunctioning connection.


At one point I got an error message saying the ethernet cable had been disconnected! another time I dashed into setting and found wi fi had been randomly turned on. My wi fis connection speed is also 10mbps -- the same as it was before this current situation.


Hope some of these screenshots might help:

My internet keeps dropping out!


I suggest you connect your laptop to the router with a ethernet cable. If the wired connection is stable you know that there is nothing wrong with the internet connection itself and with your LAN. Next step would be to go to the website of your laptop manufacturer and look for the latest WLAN drivers. Install them and test whether it improves the reliability of your WLAN connection. Then post back the results.

 

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.

 

wifi keeps dropping/disconnecting and reconnecting randomly

the Wifi on my laptop keeps dropping to just one bar and i can't connect to the internet, and then return to normal after a few seconds. sometimes after dropping to one bar the wifi disconnected or it says "no internet access", and then reconnects itself
again (but sometimes if this one happens i i have to reconnect manually). some other times this happens continuously, drop-disconnected-reconnect-drop-disconnect-reconnect etc.

but when i went to my cousin's home and use his wifi, this does not happen (or so it seems). at first i thought the problem was from my internet provider, but when i checked my phone everything's normal and not disconnected or anything.

i have tried some solutions like changing the power management and resetting the wifi autoconfig service but nothing happened. my wifi drivers are already up to date. i also did a full scan with antivirus (avast) but nothing came up.

my laptop is Asus X550JX

any help will be appreciated, thank you.
