If a user often turns off Wi-Fi on a laptop, then this can happen due to many different reasons. This happens in such a way that communication with the network can simply be lost or “fly off” periodically, after which you need to constantly reconnect or reboot devices.
According to user data, the biggest problems when working with a wireless connection do not occur due to the complexity of the setup or connection, but due to the constant moments when the connection starts to disconnect and break. As a result, a disconnection message appears or no site simply opens in the browser. You need to know the main reasons for such denial of access and ways to help correct the situation.
The moments when the connection can periodically disconnect are annoying for everyone. The user can go about his business on the network, download files or watch a movie, and at one moment the connection begins to be interrupted. Such situations are familiar to everyone, but not everyone knows the main reasons why Wifi is constantly turned off on a laptop. The most common reasons are:
- The battery saver mode is activated on the device. It gets to the point that after a certain amount of time, when the laptop is idle, WiFi connection will automatically limit and turn off the Windows system itself, the adapter will turn off, and therefore a slight battery saving is achieved;
- the router, which is used to access the global network, is located at a great distance from the laptop or there are many obstacles between them. The result is a very weak signal level, which leads to numerous loss of connection with the router;
- network signal that comes to the router via the provider's wire or via mobile network from the operator is not powerful enough to ensure a normal connection. At this time, the laptop does not lose connection with the router, however, there is no data transfer. It is even possible that Wifi disappears on the laptop at this moment;
- router connected to global network, may be unstable with frequent freezes and random reboots. This also affects the connection with the laptop, which at such moments will also fail until the normal operation of the wireless device is restored;
- if old or insufficiently suitable drivers are installed on the user's equipment, this also causes frequent failures, as a result of which the laptop loses the Wifi network.
Note! Only the most common problems are listed, the full list is more extensive.
How to find out which device is the cause
To determine the fault of which device, the Internet via Wifi on the laptop disappears, you should try to test the work with a different type of equipment. For example, a phone or tablet. If during operation the connection is stable and without interruptions, then the fault of the laptop or its adapter. If the connection quality is similar on another device, then most likely it is the router that is causing the breaks.
Battery saving
A similar reason is considered first due to the fact that few people know about the effect of the remaining charge on the connection. It is worth starting the check by identifying whether the energy saving mode is active on the device. This function is a tool operating system Windows and often annoys users with its unknown features. The system independently determines which components the user uses or not, on the basis of which it can disable them. This happens when a certain function is idle for a certain period of time.
Important! The operating system needs this to save battery and extend battery life.
To disable this feature, follow these steps:
- open the control panel of the operating system and find the category "Power Options";
- find and open "Setting the power plan", which is the default in the system;
- click on the "Change advanced power settings" section;
- a window will open in which you should select "Wireless Network Adapter Settings";
- open "Power Saving Mode";
- change the value to "Highest performance";
- Click the Apply button and close all windows.
The steps taken will help get rid of the situation when Wifi constantly falls off.
Weak router signal
Often, the cause of a weak signal from the router is a loss of connection to the Internet. The signal from the router is a standard radio wave, which is affected by many factors that affect the stability and strength of the transmitted signal. Most users believe that if the router and laptop are close, but there are concrete walls or other obstacles on the way, then the signal quality will not always be strong enough. Distance doesn't always matter. If there are many walls, interior items, or just a large room on the way from the router to the laptop, you need to reconsider the place of work or consider installing amplifiers, repeaters, or other auxiliary devices.
Signal strength is also affected by household electrical appliances and neighbors' routers that operate on the same frequency. For these reasons, a communication failure signal may also appear on the cover of the indicator lights.
Steel objects that are located between devices have a great influence, they forward and reflect the signal, which affects the quality of communication.
Note! All of these factors should be taken into account when building the interior of the room and choosing a workplace for the user.
Bad network signal
In the event that the service provider sends an insufficiently strong signal to the user's router, the device begins to function unstable, interrupting the connection with all gadgets or turning off the access point. It is recommended to leave a request to the support service of the service company, telling about the problems.
If the user uses a mobile modem with Wi-Fi, which turns off by itself on a laptop, then you can try installing an external antenna or purchase an amplifier. The device may be in an area with a weak or unstable signal from mobile operator. To find out the reasons, you can also contact the contact center.
Unstable router operation
When a user notices instability in the functioning of the router, which manifests itself in the form of periodic disconnections from network access, you should try to perform a multiple reboot and look at the behavior of the device in the future.
You can open the web interface and check for new driver or firmware updates. If the device detects them, it is recommended to install them. The point is that the router works with the help of a special operating system, which, like any other, is capable of accumulating system errors or manifesting them in the form of unstable operation. Manufacturers to correct the situation release periodic updates that can help.
If there are no updates available, resetting your device may help. However, such an operation should be carried out if there is an understanding of how to set up the device again.
Driver failure
If the software for the Wi-Fi network adapter was not updated on the user's laptop for a long time, or problems appeared after reinstalling Windows, then the connection loss may be due to an outdated version of the driver or its inappropriate version.
If there are no questions about the settings and operation of the router, and all the necessary settings inside the operating system are also checked and function normally, then the problem may lie in the need to install or update the old driver network adapter.
In this case, it means that the operating system during the installation was unable to select and install on its own the necessary software for the normal operation of the module. To check this, you need to perform the following sequence of actions:
- First you need to open the "Device Manager". To do this, click on the "Start" button and select the appropriate section;
- when the user launched it and vice versa network device will stand Exclamation point, which means that it does not have installed drivers or there are problems with those already installed on the device.
If the original installation disk for the network adapter has been preserved, then the solution is simple. Paste it and run the installation wizard. Further, everything is very clear, only you should go through all the steps proposed by the system to the end.
Alternatively, if drivers with installation disk cannot be delivered or they are outdated and do not work, the laptop owner will have to look for them on the Internet. Download and install them only from the official website of the manufacturer.
Often, to start downloading, you need to find a section with support. Drivers are located in the "Software" subsection. After that, you need to choose the software for your own laptop model and operating system. Drivers are most commonly referred to as a combination of the words Wireless LAN.
If access is not available on all devices
There are situations when there is no access to the global network on any device or gadget of the user. You can immediately determine that the fault is not in the drivers of a particular laptop or PC, but in the router itself. There may be several reasons for this, and all of them are problems with the router or the provider's equipment.
First of all, it is recommended to contact the support service of the service provider. Some malfunctions may have occurred or the equipment is undergoing maintenance. The user will be assured of support and will be informed when the connection is restored. If they answer there that no problems were found with the service company, then the reason lies in the router. He should pay attention and follow the steps listed above. Perhaps there was a driver failure or other software error. If these are not found, then there is a possibility of hardware failure. It is recommended to repair the device only in the service center.
There can be many reasons for turning off the wireless network on a laptop. Often, frequent breaks occur due to the fault of system Windows errors or problems with the router drivers. Possible temporary difficulties due to malfunctions at the provider. Also, few people know, but the reason may lie in the remaining low battery level of the laptop.
Almost every modern laptop has a built-in Wi-Fi module that allows you to connect wirelessly and create your own access points. Users have cases when Wi-Fi is turned off on a laptop. Below will be described methods that allow you to understand the cause of the problem, and then fix it.
It is worth noting that the problem can have two directions: software and hardware. Software includes various adapter settings in a laptop, router, and Windows. The hardware most often refers to a physical malfunction of the device. And it also happens on any version of the operating system, be it Windows 7 or Windows 10.
Reasons for turning off Wi-Fi on a laptop
When working on a computer, there are cases of spontaneous disconnection of Wi-Fi. As a result, the Internet disappeared on all devices or only on the laptop. This is not necessarily a critical error, there may be other reasons:
- connection with the router is interrupted due to a weak signal;
- the network is turned off to save energy;
- failure on the driver side;
- interference due to various devices;
- physical failure of the Wi-Fi module.
Video - why Wi-Fi turns off:
The first few phenomena can be easily eliminated. As for the physical malfunction, it is necessary to find a suitable module and replace it.
Energy saving settings
Most fast way try to fix the Wi-Fi problem - go to the power plan settings on your laptop. The point is that when going into sleep or hibernation mode on some laptops, the system may turn off the Wi-Fi module. The same thing happens in the Power Save mode, where many computer components operate at reduced frequencies. If your laptop model turns off the Wi-Fi adapter itself when saving power, then you can configure the parameter accordingly as follows:
- Open the Run window using the Win+R keys.
- Enter the command "control powercfg.cpl".
- A window with power settings will open. There we select the option " High performance". Or, in already established mode, click on the item "Setting up a power plan".
- In the window that opens, click on "Change advanced power settings".
- We find the option "Wireless Network Adapter Settings".
- In the next step, we find the section "Power saving mode" and change it to the item "Maximum performance".
- We save the settings.
Thus, the wireless adapter should not be disconnected periodically. If this problem persists, move on to other fixes.
Low reception signal and interference
When connected to a router other than your own, you may notice a weak signal level, due to which Wi-Fi flies. This can be seen on the network icon and the number of sticks that are responsible for signal strength. Of course, even with poor reception, the connection can be stable, but at some point, the connection may break due to interference from other wireless devices.
In other words, interference may occur due to the presence of the following objects and phenomena:
- The power grid is unstable;
- metal objects located near the signal receiver and transmitter;
- thick walls, due to which the network is constantly disconnected;
- devices that emit waves of different frequencies make the Wi-Fi connection unstable.
The easiest way to get rid of this problem is to put the device, in our case a laptop, closer to the router and remove all kinds of objects that are objects of interference.
Changing properties in Device Manager and reinstalling the driver
This option is also very simple. You can restore Wi-Fi on a laptop using some task manager settings that need to be changed in the energy saving section, we will also try to reinstall wifi driver adapter. Now you need to perform the following series of actions:
- In Windows 10, press the combination Win + X and go to the device manager. Perhaps you have the Windows 7 operating system installed, then open the execute window using the Win + R combination and enter the following: devmgmt.msc.
- Open the "Network Adapters" section and look for something like this "Wi-Fi Adapter".
- Go to its properties using the right mouse button.
- Switch to the "Power Management" tab, uncheck the "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" option.
Steps to reinstall the driver:
could happen and unsuccessful attempt, which means Wi-Fi periodically turns off again. Then we try to remove the driver, and restart the computer. It usually reinstalls itself automatically. In addition, install the already downloaded driver.
Now, when the router loses the network, the above software ways fully help to get rid of the problems that have arisen. Now, as for the router.
Problem in the router
When a user is not connected to their own network, fixing the problem can be several times more difficult. Having your own router, you can at least restart it. The wireless network crashes for the reasons described below.
Note that many modern budget-type routers often hang and Wi-Fi turns off. This problem occurs due to increased network load, for example, when a user downloads large files via torrent.
Power outages are a known cause. Eliminating the phenomenon is not always easy, but it is recommended to restart the device, then disconnect it from the network for a few minutes.
Another option is when several devices work on the same channel. What to do in this case? Change the settings from the router control panel, where you need to change the channel number to a free one.
Additional actions:
- connecting an Internet cable directly to a computer or laptop;
- updating the software (firmware) of the router;
- temporary refusal to use torrent programs;
- using another router.
All the options discussed in most cases help fix problems with Wi-Fi disconnecting every 5 minutes. If one method does not help, go to another and so on.

Now the user should not have a question why disable wifi connections on laptop
As practice shows, the biggest problems for users when working with Wi-Fi and routers are not caused by the connection process and not even the setup process. most big problem there is a moment when, after setting up, the Internet regularly disappears, a message constantly pops up about an interrupted connection, or simply it is not possible to open a single site on a laptop. In this article, we will try to find out what causes such problems, and what to do if Wi-Fi turns off on a laptop.
The reasons for automatic network shutdown are quite common.
What could be more frustrating than experiencing connection drops when working on a laptop? Just now everything was fine, and you calmly watched the movie online, and now the playback stopped, the movie paused, and the Internet disappeared altogether. You may encounter this problem for a variety of reasons. The most common are the following:
- Your laptop is in battery saver mode. This leads to the fact that after a set period of time when the device is completely idle, the wireless connection is automatically terminated, the Wi-Fi adapter stops exchanging packets with the router and thereby saves battery power.
- The router through which you access the network is too far away or there are obstacles between it and the laptop. The consequence may be a weak level of the received wireless signal, which leads to regular disconnections. This happens, as a rule, automatically and imperceptibly for the user.
- Internet signal received by the router via cable or cellular network and convertible to wireless wifi signal, too weak. At such moments, you can observe that the laptop is still connected to Wi-Fi, but the Internet refuses to work. Also, a weak signaltransmitted over the cable may cause the wireless connection of the router and laptop to turn off automatically.
- The router through which you access the Internet is unstable, constantly freezes, spontaneously reboots. In this case, Wi-Fi in your laptop is automatically turned off until the router is turned on again, its software is restored, or until a forced reboot.
- Your laptop has the wrong or outdated driver wireless network adapter. As a result, the operation of the adapter becomes unstable, and it may spontaneously interrupt the connection or not find available networks at all.
Here we have listed only the most common problems that users regularly encounter. But at the same time, many do not know what to do next and how to get rid of problems.
Battery saving mode
We definitely recommend that you first check if the power saving mode is activated on your computer. This is a built-in capability of the operating Windows systems, which keeps track of how you use (or don't use) certain elements systems and certain PC components. If any of them is idle without work for a long time, it is automatically turned off by the system. Windows does this in order to save battery power, which is sometimes the only source of power for a laptop.
To disable battery saving by interrupt wireless connection, you need to open the Control Panel of your PC, find the Power Options category and select Power Plan Settings, which is set on your system by default to this moment. Everything you need is under the Change advanced power settings link. In the small system window that opens, go to the following path: Wireless network adapter settings > Power saving mode and change the values to Maximum performance. Click Apply and close all windows. This procedure will get rid of the situation when the Internet is turned off at the request of the operating system.
Weak router signal
Generally, a weak signal coming from a Wi-Fi router can be the reason why the connection to the network regularly disappears. Since the signal of the router is the most common radio wave, a variety of factors affect its power, which can also affect the quality of the connection. Not always the remoteness of the laptop from the router is the main reason for the decrease in signal strength. These may be additional barriers located between the receiver and the wireless signal translator. For example, in a large room consisting of several rooms or offices, the walls separating the laptop and the router can significantly reduce the quality of the connection. In such cases, it is worth considering revising the location of the router or expanding the network radius with the help of special amplifiers.
Also, the quality of the connection may be affected by the presence of electrical appliances that inadvertently interfere with the propagation of radio waves. As a result, the display regularly shows an error about the loss of connection.
metal objects between Wi-Fi router and laptop also significantly reduce the stability of the connection on the wireless network through which you access the Internet. Keep this in mind when organizing your home LAN.
Weak network signal
If the signal from your ISP via cable or cellular network is too weak, the router may become unstable, turning off the access point and interrupting the connection with devices connected to it. In such a situation, it is better to contact the provider's support service, describing in detail the essence of the problem. If we are talking about a mobile router and its operation in places of uncertain signal reception, where a message about searching for a network is displayed on the display of the router or mobile device, an external antenna can improve reception quality. To clarify information about network coverage of specific settlements, you should also contact the representatives of the provider.
Unstable operation of the router
If you observe unstable operation of the router, which leads to a regular disconnection of the wireless connection, we recommend that you restart the device several times and closely monitor its further work. Or go to its control panel, check for software updates and install them if necessary. Since the router is running a special operating system, it, like any other, can accumulate system errors, work is not quite stable and requires periodic updates.
May also help full reset router settings. We recommend doing this only if you know its settings for your provider and can configure it again after the reset. Otherwise, contact the provider through the official website or by calling the hotline.
Driver failure
If the driver for the wireless network adapter has not been updated in your laptop for a long time, or if you began to observe problems with disabling Wi-Fi after the last reinstallation of the operating system, it may well be that an outdated or not the most suitable driver is installed. We recommend that you find out the manufacturer of the network adapter installed in your laptop and download the latest driver. We recommend doing this without fail on the official website of the manufacturer.
Conclusion
Whatever the reason for your laptop's Wi-Fi dropping out, one of these troubleshooting steps can help you get your network back to normal. If you have tried all the instructions in this article, but none of them helped to identify the cause and get rid of the problem, you should contact service center to test your router and network adapter in your laptop, as the problem seems to lie a little deeper.
Consider today the problem when wifi network it is unstable, and when the connection to the Wi-Fi network is periodically interrupted, or the Internet connection is lost. It seems to me that this is even worse than when the Internet does not work at all. Because the problem is not clear, everything seems to work, but not as it should, the signal disappears, devices turn off, and other incomprehensible moments. It’s just that when something doesn’t work, it’s at least clear where to look for a solution, but in such a situation, nothing is clear at all.
What is the unstable operation of the Wi-Fi connection:
- Periodic disconnection of devices from the Wi-Fi network. Or the Internet just cuts off for a while (), and everything starts working again. A very popular problem that causes a lot of inconvenience. For example, a laptop is connected to a Wi-Fi network, and the Internet is working. But periodically a yellow exclamation mark appears near the connection icon, and the Internet disappears. The download of files gets lost, etc. And, as a rule, after a while the connection is restored.
- Devices do not connect to the Wi-Fi network the first time, or do not see the Wi-Fi network.
- Wi-Fi network completely disappears, and appears.
- Very slow wireless internet speed (the cable is fine).
- When the Wi-Fi connection works only near the router.
- The signal strength of the wireless network is constantly changing.
This, of course, is not the whole list of problems that are associated with the unstable operation of wireless networks. There may be many more. Very often, Wi-Fi works fine for a while, and then problems start that go away again. Also, you can notice the appearance of problems, for example, in the evenings, or at other times of the day.
If you have something similar, and you seem to have an Internet connection, but you can’t always use it ( use without any problem), now we will try to fix everything.
Changing the wireless network channel when Wi-Fi is unstable
This is the first and most important tip that you should definitely try. We know that every Wi-Fi network operates on some channel. If there are many of these networks, then they begin to interfere with one another, and interference appears. And as a result, unstable Wi-Fi works. Well, and various incomprehensible problems that I wrote about above, and which you have most likely already encountered.
You need to change the channel of the Wi-Fi network in the router settings. Details about channels, about finding a free one and about changing to different models routers, I wrote in a separate instruction:
You can try setting some static channel (if you have Auto), or vice versa, set to Auto if a static channel was selected. In the article linked above, I wrote about finding the freest channel using the inSSIDer program. You can use.
You just need to go to the router settings, go to the tab where the wireless network is configured, and change the channel in the Channel item. This is how it looks on Tp-Link routers:
And on Asus routers:
After every channel change, don't forget save settings and reboot router. Be sure to try several options. Should help.
As for interference, they can be created by household appliances. Do not place the router near microwave ovens, cordless phones, etc.
Shaving the Internet via Wi-Fi: router firmware, and other tips
Almost always, such problems in the operation of the wireless network occur due to the router. Not uncommon, this is due to the firmware. Therefore, I strongly recommend updating the firmware of your router. We have instructions for all popular manufacturers on our website. Here's an example, .
It is also possible that the wireless network may be unstable due to some technical problems with a router. Something with the board itself, or the power adapter. By the way, power adapters are very often the cause of such problems. The router just does not receive the right nutrition and connection breaks appear, etc. Well, strong drops in the power grid can affect the operation of the router. If the Internet is cut off after you create some kind of load on the router (online video, games, torrents, connecting new devices, etc.), then this one is usually due to an inexpensive (not powerful) router.
Need to eliminate problems on the side of the Internet provider. It may well be that it is on his side that the connection is broken, and the router has nothing to do with it. Checking is very simple, just connect the Internet directly to the computer and check its operation.
For many, the connection breaks in those rooms where the Wi-Fi network signal is very poor. When only one division of the network signal remains on the device, for example.
In such a situation, you need to increase the range of your Wi-Fi network. We have an article on this topic:. Or, install . After that, the problems with the Internet breakage should disappear.
And if you have a lot of devices at home available networks that operate at 2.4 GHz (as most likely your network), and changing the channel, and even changing the router does not work, and the Wi-Fi network is very unstable, then you can solve this problem by purchasing a router that supports operation at a frequency of 5 GHz. This frequency is practically free. I just know a case where there were a lot of wireless networks in the house, and Wi-Fi was simply impossible to use until they switched to a frequency of 5 GHz.
If the Internet disappears on only one laptop
And of course, it’s not uncommon for all devices to connect and work with a wireless network without any problems or disconnections, and one device keeps disconnecting, losing connection, etc. It’s not hard to guess that most often this device is called a laptop and works on Windows.
In such cases, it is necessary to update the driver wireless adapter. How to do this, I wrote. It is possible that the problem may be in the hardware. And it appears very often after disassembling the laptop (cleaning from dust). Why is that? During assembly, the antenna that is built into the laptop often suffers. Here are the problems in working with Wi-Fi networks. Very often, after that, the Internet works only near the router itself.
Update: changing the properties of the Wi-Fi network
Open the Network and Sharing Center public access" and click on your Wi-Fi network. In the new window, click on the "Wireless network properties" button and check the box next to "Connect even if the network does not broadcast its name (SSID)". Click Ok.
If it does not help, and Wi-Fi will still fall off, then in the same window, on the "Security" tab, you can click on the " Extra options" and check the box next to "Enable Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) Compliance Mode for this network".
You can restart your computer. Thanks for this tip Alexander. He suggested it in the comments to this article.
Here are some tips, if you have interesting information on this topic, personal experience, then write in the comments. You can also ask questions there, I will definitely answer!
You can only connect to Wi-Fi if the device is within range of the signal. But sometimes connected to wifi device stops seeing the network or loses it every few minutes.
Why the device loses the network
The process of automatic loss of networks can be observed in the list available connections: The network signal appears and disappears. The reasons why this happens to the network can be different:
- signal strength is too weak. This happens if the device is far from the router, or too many devices are connected to the router, that is, it is overloaded and unable to provide the required signal level;
- the signal sometimes disappears due to the fact that the router is in a hard-to-reach place, that is, some physical objects interfere with the signal propagation;
- interference is possible not only due to the incorrect location of the router or its congestion, but also due to problems that have arisen on the operator's side. Before you start troubleshooting the problem, make sure your Internet connection is stable. Try to use the Internet not through a router, but through a computer;
- the network may disappear if the device went into sleep mode;
- automatic shutdown occurs when the battery saver mode is activated;
- a problem with Wi-Fi sometimes occurs due to the lack of the necessary drivers, which will have to be installed manually.
In most cases, all of the above problems can be eliminated manually without resorting to the help of a specialist. But first you need to decide what the problem is: the router or the device. If the problem of signal loss is relevant for all devices trying to connect to the network, then the reason should be looked for in the router, but if the problem occurs only on one device, then the reason lies in it.
Troubleshoot your device
If you are convinced that the problem is hidden in the device, and not in the router, then one of the instructions below should help you.
Signal amplification
First of all, it is worth moving the device closer to the router in order to strengthen the signal. It is possible that your router is not capable of transmitting a signal to the required distance, in which case you will have to replace it or amplify it with additional antennas. Also make sure that the router is located in a place that is easily accessible for the signal, this is especially true if wireless Internet is distributed.
Sleep setting
When the device goes to sleep, some of its processes cease to function so that the energy does not go into the void. By default, the Wi-Fi module is among the automatically disabled services. If you do not want the Internet to disappear after each wake-up, then you must deactivate this feature manually.
Solution for Windows laptops
- Open device manager.
Open Device Manager
- Find the block "Network adapters" in the list and expand it. Open the properties of one of the adapters.
Open the properties of the network adapter
- Go to the "Power Management" tab and uncheck the option to allow the adapter to be turned off to save power.
Uncheck "Power Management"
- Return to the list and repeat the same steps for the second adapter. The name of the adapter will depend on its model.
Perform the above steps for the second adapter
Solution for Android
- Expand device settings.
Open Android Settings
- Go to the WLAN (Wi-Fi) block.
Open the WLAN section
- Open the menu and select the Advanced tab.
Open the "Additional" section
- Find the function "WLAN in sleep mode" and set it to "Enabled".
Set the value to "Always" for the function "WLAN in sleep mode"
Solution for IOS
On IOS devices, you cannot disable automatic network disconnection. But on such devices, the following rule applies: Wi-Fi turns off during sleep, and when turned on, it reconnects on its own. If this does not happen, firstly, it is worth updating the IOS to latest version, since a similar problem occurred in some outdated versions firmware, secondly, it is worth resetting the network settings by doing the following:
Update adapter drivers
Perhaps the network adapter drivers were not installed, outdated, or crashed. In any case, they must be reinstalled manually. This issue only applies to laptops, as mobile devices driver installation is carried out only in automatic mode.
- While in Device Manager, find your network adapter and open its properties. Navigate to the details and look for the Hardware ID option. Copy the existing value. With it, you can find drivers for your device on the official website of the company that developed the adapter. It is enough to drive in the ID and the word "drivers" in any search engine to find the desired site.
Open the "Details" tab and look for the hardware ID
- After downloading the drivers, return to the device manager, select the adapter and start updating the drivers by clicking on the appropriate icon in the top panel.
Select the adapter and click the "Update Drivers" button
- Choose a method that allows you to use drivers from your computer's memory instead of searching for them automatically.
Select the method "Search for drivers on this computer"
- Specify the path to the previously downloaded drivers and complete the update process. Done, restart your computer and check if the problem is fixed.
Specify the path to the drivers

Disabling Energy Saver
A laptop or phone may lose network due to the fact that a low battery causes some modules to turn off, which sometimes include a network adapter. This helps the device not run out of power so quickly, but automatically turning off Wi-Fi is not always convenient.
Solution for Windows
- Open system settings.
Open system settings
- Go to the "System" block.
Uncheck the box "Automatically turn on battery saver ..."
Solution for Android
Solution for IOS
Troubleshooting your router
If the problem with the automatic loss of the network occurs on all devices trying to connect to Wi-Fi, then the problem lies in the router. To get rid of it, you need to reset the router settings to default values.
Reset
Resetting the settings is done in one step: just hold down the Reset button, usually located on the back of the router, for 10-15 seconds. Please note that the router must be turned on. You can release the button if the router icon starts flashing, that is, if the router automatically reboots. After the reset, all parameters will return to the default value, the password will disappear from Wi-Fi, and the problem with auto network disconnection should disappear.
Press the Reset button for 10-15 seconds
physical damage
If previous method did not help to fix the problem, then the matter is most likely in physical damage router. In this case, you will have to take it to a service center. Check if the warranty period has not expired, and you are entitled to a free replacement of the router.
The problem on the device side may lie in battery saver mode, lack of drivers for the network adapter, or sleep mode. Also, the cause may be a weak signal of the router or an unstable Internet connection due to problems on the operator's side. If the problem is relevant for several devices, then you need to reset the router settings or find physical damage.
