Windows 10 Update and Wifi Issues
Ever since I updated windows 10 in October (and still with the recent update in November), I have been having wifi connectivity issues at work. I have no issues with public wifi or at home, but my internet repeatedly drops at work. My coworker has a MAC computer and has had no issues. My chromebook works fine. The wireless network shows up as connected, but internet drops every 1-5 minutes and eventually stops connecting at all. I have an Acer Aspire and have tried the network adapter troubleshooter and the results are “no problem identified.” I have completed the network adapter reset. I have the most up to date drivers for network adapters. I have the most recent Windows 10 update (Windows 10, 1909). I know there has been some information about some computers not being able to connect to routers after the recent Windows 10 Update interfering with wifi chips (Microsoft Admits That Windows 10 Update 1903 Knocks Out Wi-Fi). Because I only have Wifi issues at work, I am wondering if there are some routers that do not have this interaction effect with the Windows 10 Update. The router I have at home is over 10 years old, so I cannot go and purchase the same one that works at home. Does anyone know of a router that does not have this wifi connectivity issue as I have no other ideas for how to fix this problem? Or any other possible solutions for this problem?
