    PC randomly disconnects (when on Youtube), can't reconnect


    Hello everyone,

    For about a month now, my pc randomly disconnects from the wi-fi network (my home network) I was connected to, mostly (actually almost exclusively) when I am on Youtube watching videos. Sometimes it happens after 10 min, sometimes after 2h. I can't reconnect to any available wi-fi network in range, and can only regain connection and internet after restarting my pc. Other devices connected to the network don't have any problems.

    Network adapter: Qualcomm Atheros AR9485 Wireless Network Adapter
    Drivers are up-to-date.
    No AVG installed.
    Restarting the network adapter doesn't help.
    Malwarebytes, HitmanPro, Spybot, AdwCleaner all return clean scans.

    Can anyone please help me?
    All suggestions are welcome!

    Thanks in advance!

    Open up a Command Window and enter the following command: netsh wlan show all

    That will give you everything you need to know. Usually a poor connection can be due to congestion on that channel, weak radio in the Access Point, or too far away and your laptop keeps wanting to find a better connection.

    The command gives me the following:
