To troubleshoot the issue of losing internet connectivity on your laptop around midnight, the following steps can be taken to identify and potentially resolve the problem:

Potential Solutions:​

1. Check Scheduled Tasks:
   • Review any scheduled tasks that might affect your internet connection at midnight. Task Scheduler in Windows allows you to see tasks that are set to run at specific times.
   []Power Settings:
   • Ensure that your laptop's power settings are not causing the network adapter to disable or enter power-saving modes during that time.
   • Check both the advanced power settings and any third-party power management software that may control networking behavior.
   []Check for Updates:
   • Make sure that your network adapter drivers are up to date. Outdated or malfunctioning drivers can cause connectivity issues.
   []Router Settings:
   • Check the router settings, especially if the issue is only affecting one device. Restart the router or modem around midnight to see if that restores connectivity.
   []Security Software:
   • Verify that your antivirus or firewall software is not blocking internet access during that timeframe. Temporarily disable them for testing if needed.
   []Windows Event Viewer:
   • Check the Windows Event Viewer for any error codes or warnings related to network connectivity issues that occur around midnight. Look for any patterns or specific errors.
   []Network Profiles:
   • Review your network profile settings, particularly if your laptop is set to a public network profile during that time, which might have more restrictive settings.
   []IP Address Lease Renewal:
   • Confirm that your IP address is being renewed correctly by checking the DHCP lease duration on your router. A midnight renewal issue could cause connectivity loss.
   []Network Troubleshooter:
   • Run the Windows Network Troubleshooter when you experience the issue to see if it can identify and potentially fix any connectivity problems.
2. Alternative Network Adapter:
   • If possible, try using a USB Wi-Fi adapter to connect to the internet to see if the issue is specific to the laptop's built-in network adapter.

     Further Assistance:​

     If these steps do not resolve the issue, consider contacting your Internet Service Provider (ISP) for further assistance or seek help from a professional technician to diagnose and rectify the connectivity problem occurring at midnight.
