Windows 10: Wireless internet connection problems may be a wireless network adapter problem

For several weeks I have been having problems with my wireless internet connection dropping out every few days. I always use Troubleshoot Problems and the result is usually a Network Adapter Problem. First if I disconnected and reconnected a few times it would sort the problem but more recently the problems occurs more frequently - about six times last night - and I have to spend more time trying to reconnect.My Internet Provider has checked the line and it's working OK. The Adapter Drivers up to date and the best drivers for the device are installed.I searched

Wireless router/adapter problem.

I have a Linksys WRT54G router which is 3 years old and have a Linksys WMP54G wireless adapter that I am using to connect to the Internet via wireless. I am currently having problems connecting to online games. Thinking that my router was the problem, I attempted to connect to another wireless network and join an online game. I was able to connect, but was having the same problems ( lag spikes and disconnects ) as my wireless network and it has about 40% less signal strength than my wireless signal. But here is the odd part... When I connected to my network again and joined the same game, the lag gets even worse than it was from the weaker signal and I was getting 98% signal strength. And 90% of the time, the game would eventually crash to the desktop when it attempts to connect to a server.

Internet browsers are also starting to be affected. Sometimes websites load normally. But from now and then, I would have to refresh the webpage because it is starting to take quite a long time to load a webpage which would of taken me a few seconds to load rather than a minute. There also some delays when webpages are loading and then the webpage would eventually load normally after a abnormal 5-10 second delay.

Would this be a sign for me to get a new router and wireless adapter? If so, what do you recommend?

I am willing to spend up to $150 USD for a router and wireless adapter from any brand.

 

Problem with wireless connection

Hi,

What is the make and model of your computer?

I suggest you to follow the steps mentioned in the following link:

Wired and wireless network problems

Fix Wi-Fi connection issues in Windows

Also applies to Windows 10.

If the issue persist, I suggest you to un-install the current version of wireless card driver installed and then try to download and install wireless card drivers from your computer manufacturer website and check.

Follow the steps on how to un-install the wireless card driver.

• 
  Press Windows Key + X.
  
• 
  Select Device Manager.
  
• 
  Expand Network adaptors.
  
• 
  Right click on wireless card driver and select
  Un-install.
  

Windows will prompt you to confirm the device’s removal. Click
OK to remove the driver.

After the un-installation is complete, reboot your computer as soon as possible.

Computer will load the network adaptor card. Now you may check with the issue.

If the above steps doesn't help, I suggest you to login to other computer which has internet connectivity, visit the computer manufacturer website of the issue computer and then download the latest driver
for the wireless card and save it to a external flash drive. Once you successfully save the drivers setup file, insert the flash drive on the issue computer and then try to install the drivers and check with the issue.

Please reply us on the status of the issue to assist you further.
