Internet Staying Connected Problem; HP Laptop  

Hello,

Grandson has a hp Laptop about a year old. W10

Wouldn't connect, but I was lucky enough to note in their manual that the Airplane Logo key controlled
access to the internet, and was an On/Off key for. Youngster, and must have pressed it inadvertently; easy to do.
That solved that problem for about a month.

Now, new problem:

Connects for about a few seconds to 1/2 minute, and then kicks him off. Every time. Using Comcast.
Same with house WiFi, or an Ethernet cable to Comcast modem.

Two other pc's in house work fine.

Any thoughts as to what might be the problem, and what to check would
be very appreciated.

Thanks,
Bob

Please connect the computer using Ethernet.

Overnight run the test while connected using wifi and ethernet cable detached.
