That`s not the problem .with that reading
Did Wifi analyser show up any other wifi signals. ? Possible interference from something else. If there is a lot of activity try setting your router to a different channel
Next thing to try would be to get a UDB Wifi network adaptor. Less than £10
That would by pass your onboard network card to rule out it as the problem
After that i`m running out of suggestions - Maybe it is a router problem. Can you borrow one to see if it makes a difference ?

Only other wifi signals are the old router.

2.4ghz is running on channels 2 and 5 (mesh) and old router is running channel 11
5ghz is running channel 36 and 100 (mesh)

PC/Laptop is connecting to the strongest signal from each mesh node.



Had a trouble yesterday with a W10 laptop down at the other farm connecting via Picostation attached to EE router. Need to do some more testing there when I get chance - it seemed to be the same error i.e. dropped network and wouldn't reconnect happily by itself. Need to isolate whether that's the EE router, Picostation or laptop causing the issue. The trouble with intermittent issues is they can take a long time to manifest and don't break on demand.

Should not be an issue in the same room, but 2.4ghz connections are usually more robust
5ghz should be faster in good conditions but inclined to be huffy with walls, trees, & other obstructions in the line of sight.

Try switching off 5ghz & see how it goes on 2.4ghz

Thought I'd flag this up again - swapped the network card out for a new one as it was the cheapest thing to swap over. Most of the time it's fine, but still throwing up an issue so doesn't look like this has really changed things much.

Will probably try another router from Amazon as a trial and see how that holds up as an alternative. Plusnet router I have I'm able to connect to without an issue.

May be worth updating or checking the network card driver.
