Hi,

I have had this problem for a long time but it seems to be getting worse. When I browse the internet, the wifi seems to stop working every few minutes and the message "cannot connect to the network" appears when I try to load a page. In order to solve this, I need to disconnect from the network and join again. I know the problem is not with my wifi because it works perfectly on other devices! My PC works perfectly fine apart from this.
Does anyone know how to solve this problem? Thanks!!

It seems like you're experiencing intermittent Wi-Fi disconnections on your PC. This issue can be frustrating, but there are several troubleshooting steps you can take to try to resolve it. Here are some common solutions to fix Wi-Fi connection problems on Windows: 1. Update Wi-Fi Drivers: - Ensure that your Wi-Fi drivers are up to date. Outdated drivers can sometimes cause connectivity issues. 2. Restart Router and Modem: - Sometimes, the issue might be with your router or modem. Try restarting them by unplugging the power source, waiting for a few minutes, and then plugging them back in. 3. Check Network Adapter Settings: - Go to Device Manager, find your Wi-Fi adapter, right-click on it, and select "Properties."...

Outdated drivers can sometimes cause connectivity issues. 2. Restart Router and Modem: - Sometimes, the issue might be with your router or modem. Try restarting them by unplugging the power source, waiting for a few minutes, and then plugging them back in. 3. Check Network Adapter Settings: - Go to Device Manager, find your Wi-Fi adapter, right-click on it, and select "Properties." Make sure the option to "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" is unchecked. 4. Reset TCP/IP: - Open Command Prompt as an administrator and run the following commands:
Code:
 netsh int ip reset netsh winsock reset
5. Change Wi-Fi Channel: - Log in to your router's settings (usually accessed via a web browser), and try changing the Wi-Fi channel. Interference from other devices can sometimes disrupt the connection. 6. Disable IPv6: - Sometimes disabling IPv6 can help stabilize the connection. Go to Network and Sharing Center, choose your connection, select "Properties," and uncheck the box next to Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6). 7. Check for Signal Interference: - Keep your PC away from potential sources of interference like cordless phones, microwaves, and Bluetooth devices. 8. Reset Network Settings: - You can reset your network settings by going to Settings > Network & Internet > Status > Network reset. This will reinstall network adapters and set other networking components back to their original settings. 9. Run Network Troubleshooter: - Windows has a built-in network troubleshooter that can help diagnose and fix common connection problems. Go to Settings > Update & Security > Troubleshoot > Internet Connections. After trying these steps, check if the issue persists. If the problem continues, it might be worth contacting your ISP or a tech support professional for further assistance. Let me know if you need more detailed instructions on any of these steps!
