Wifi looses connection after 1803 upgrade

Hi Steven.

Two things I would try. Go to the vendor site and get the version they have listed for your wifi card. Manually install it. To prevent windows from helping you by upgrading it you will need to disable driver updates.

Option 4 this tutorial.

Enable or Disable Driver Updates in Windows Update in Windows 10

Save the driver somewhere for future use. Every feature update you will need it.

Another item that has worked for some with older network cards is the disabling of IPv6. Here is a link. MS recommends using "Prefer IPv4" rather than outright disabling.

I'm going to bet it is driver. I have an older Dell, different card, same issue. I always have to load the Feb 2014 driver after every feature update.

Hey ken thanks for thé reply
Where do I find the correct updated drivers for Broadcom 802.11n network adapter.
I’ve searched but no luck

Possibly 2nd or 3rd entry here in the Microsoft Catalog. Check with Ken.....

Microsoft Update Catalog

Ok so I device manager I’ll uninstall the driver/ device and use the one I’ll downloaf from the catalog and see if I still get the interruptions.
Weird only after the 1803 update this started happened

1803 seems to have it's own unique set of DNA!

and I was thinking go to Dell and look up your specific machine (Service tag number) and get the driver they have listed.
