Windows 10 dropping Wifi

[Steevo]

For some reason in the past 3-4 weeks my laptop has decided to keep dropping Wifi. The taskbar shows the globe icon with a circle with a line through it next to it. (see below)

If I turn Wifi off and on again, or flight mode then out, it comes straight back and connects to the wifi just fine. But unless I do that the globe icon stays.

I've tried Googling for it, and some solutions have suggested going into Device Manager and disabling Windows power saving mode on the network adapter which I have tried but it hasn't made a difference.

Is anyone else experiencing similar?

Be likely your router is getting bored of that IP address and wanting to renew it - is a security "feature" of some routers.

Doesn't seem to be a problem with the Windows 7 PC placed next to the laptop. Never been a problem.

Hope its been patched/ updated as I have heard some models possibly having issues with the wireless adapter and the driver. Also worth trying to see if it helps giving a static IP to the laptop on the wifi router.

Well, it can mean anything. For example, it can mean that you need to reinstall your OS, because it gets bugged if you use it for the very long time without reinstalling. Also, it can mean that your router is dying and you need a new one. And it can mean that your internet provider is messed up and you need to find another one. Pick one of these options, lol. But I think there is something with your OS or even BIOS. I know a thing or two about networks - I'm about to obtain a Cisco certification on this cciedump.spoto.net site and I'm preparing myself for exams. It this level of knowledge is good for you, you can use my advice, lol.
