    WiFi Adapter question


    Hi, can someone tell me how to check if my Wi-Fi adapter keeps crashing?

    Im pretty sure it has been but asking how i can check to confirm it has been. Over and over i suspect it has been.

    Where do i get the logs that would show this activity?

    Thanks in advance for help!

    Giving more details would help others to help you but in general you can usually find your WiFi adapter listed if you go into Device Manager then look down the list for 'Network adapters'. If you then expand this you should see the term 'Wi-Fi' at the top of the sub-list and you can then check its 'Properties'. Having got more details you can then post back here and someone may be able to help you. Good luck.

    To be honest, I keep losing my wifi connection and Im almost positive its not due to my internet connection or Router or anything like that. VERY often, everyday, all day it keeps happening. The troubleshooter always resolves it by "reset wifi-adapter" (I believe this is the step it takes that resolves the problem) before it happens again anyways.

    Its driving me nuts !

    Most time when it suddenly goes out (the connection) all the networks that should be in "show available networks" or all but the one I was connected to, disappear. I run the troubleshooter and it ends in resetting the wifi adapter. And it works. 10 minutes later, it happens again. Im trying to pin down the problem here.

    Thank you for your help.

    I suggest you go to the computer maker's support site and reinstall the WiFi adapter driver even if it is the same version as the one you have now.
    While you are there, check for any Bios update because that can affect all sorts of hardware.

    If none of that helps then "re-seat" [take out & put back in] the WiFi adapter.

    All the best,
