Wireless connectivity issue on Dell (Intel Centrino Wireless N-2230)
I have Intel Centrino Wireless-N 2230 issue on Dell Inspiron 15R with Windows 10 64-bit.
Lately, the wi-fi disconnects randomly and it says “no connections are available” or it is connected to the home network but it says “No Internet, secured”. All my other devices have working wi-fi. I disabled the driver in Device Manager and enabled it right after and it works fine for a few hours.
Since last few days, I am re-enabling it at least 4-5 times a day. I have updated the driver, uninstalled and reinstalled it, yet problem persists. In properties, sometimes it says “this driver cannot start. (Code 10)”. After restart, it only works for a while (between minutes to hours).
Today, nothing is working. It says the wi-fi is off. I have turned it on in the settings, yet it can't find any available network and automatically switches to off. I have restarted several times but no effect. I don’t know what else to do. Is it a driver, hardware or system issue? How would I know that it is time to replace the hardware?
I don’t know what info to provide to facilitate the issue. Please let me know!
