Random & Consitant disconnections
Hi guys, I've been all over the web from first base to home and every fix I've tried has failed to work. I recently got a new modem and since i got this modem.... My internet has just decided to randomly drop and reconnect on my pc. Bare in mind we have several other devices in the house and every single on of these works 100% fine. I've had 3 errors thrown up at me "windows cannot automatically detect proxy settings" & "one or more protocols are missing from this computer" Both found via trouble shooter on different occasions. Then sometimes i get TP-links software pop up saying "please plug in your network adapter". Symptoms are random disconnections from the internet. the main thing is that the little wireless symbol in the bottom right never dissapears and always shoes it's still connected when i disconnect although it has gone "limited" a few times.
I am using a TP-link TL WN881ND although windows seems to register it as a "qualcomm Atheros AR9287 Wireless Network Adapter #2" I'm also running windows ten and have done for quite some time and this has only recently started happening (within the past week) Sometimes my pc stays online for a couple hours and i think "oh hey it's fixed" then boom i disconnect once again. Then sometimes it stays online for all of about 5 minutes and spam discconects. Fixes i've tried range from updating & or rolling back drivers disabling certain settings, cmd prompt commands, disabling & enabling, swapping ports for my wireless card and NONE have fixed this damn glitch or bug or whatever you wanna call it. I will factory reset my pc but only as a last resort.
As you can imagine i dont want to spend money buying a new wireless card just to find out it was some bug to do with the allmighty worlds best OS windows 10 ¬.¬ So please is there ANYONE who can help me with this god forsaken problem. It's making me pull my hair out. I hope to hear from... someone soon. Throw possible fixes my way and i'll let you know if i've done them or how they worked out
