Intermittent internet connection - auto disconnect
Hello,
For almost a year now, I have had a constant problem with my computer's internet connection. My wifi seems to turn on and off at will at various times. Sometimes, it doesn't happen for a week or two, and other times, it happens multiple times per couple of days.
My network interface card is of high spec and has been used on multiple motherboards and multiple copies of Windows 10 specifically so I know that it isn't an issue with the PCIe slot or a specific build of Windows 10 (in other words, I have had this problem on multiple versions of Windows 10). The make of the NIC is D-link, and model is DWA-582 Wireless AC 1200.
I have tuned the power settings, reinstalled the drivers, and have swapped between 2.4 and 5 Ghz settings numerous times without avail. It would only provide a temporary fix until the wifi decides to drop out again. I also know that it may not necessarily be traffic on my network, as my brothers' two computers beside my plus our iPads never experience these issues (and they are both running Windows 10 as well).
The errors shown also vary. Sometimes, the 2.4 and 5 Ghz connections won't show up in the network list at all, other times there'll be a yellow triangle or asterisk or red exclamation mark, and other times it will say secured, no connection, or limited. It seems to be giving all the errors ever thought possible, and I don't know what may be causing them. If someone has a solution, I'd be grateful to know what it is. Thanks for your time.
