Wifi problem on my laptop

[Charl101]

Hello

I've got a Lenovo Ideadpad 110 which I bought not even a week back. Well since I've bought it the wifi has been giving me endless issues. Im running Win10 Home 64bit with the latest updates. The wifi keeps on disconnecting by itself and then reconnects, sometimes it doesn't even reconnect and then I have to connect it manually, I have updated the Bios firmware aswell and the wifi adapter. I've disabled and re enabled the adapter and even went as far as to uninstall McAfee too. I did tick the box to let the wifi connect automatically when it is in range yet it still does that. It's so flippen frustrating cause I can do nothing online. Everything works fine when the ethernet cable is connected, it's just the wifi. It does that with the power connected and/or disconnected.

Can anyone perhaps help me out here, am I missing something? A stupid setting perhaps, i'm a freaken noob when it comes to win10/8.

PS: have adsl at home with a D-link2750u router. Eveything else connected on the wifi is working 100% fine including my sister's boyfriend's HP laptop.

Windows 10 has these issues.

Try and change the channel on the router.

On an Android phone, you can get a Wifi Analyser. See if there are other wifi networks operating on the same channel, and if so, move yours to another. Many wifis just use channel 1 and it gets overloaded

This happened with me but only when the laptop was running on battery - when it was plugged in, Wi-Fi was perfect.

This is what I did and if seems to have sorted the issue:

1. Go to Device Manager, click on Network Adaptor and then right click on your adapter (mine said Realtek 8821AE Wireless LAN 802.11ac PCI-E ENIC). Click Properties and go to the Power Management tab. Disable "Allow computer to turn off this device to save power".

2. Right click on the battery icon on the taskbar. Click Power Options. Mine is on the Balanced powerplan. Click Change Plan Settings. On the next screen click Change Advanced Power Settings. In the popup, look for and click on Wireless Adapter Settings and then Power Saving Mode. Ensure both options are set to Maximum Performance.

3. Go back to Device Manager and update the driver for your wireless adapter. I would suggest doing this while connected with an Ethernet cable.

This worked for me. This is just a suggestion. I take no responsibility for anything that may go wrong.

Hope it helps.

No issues with your suggestions. This is the same I did on my daughter's laptop. The power saving timeouts are useful but can be a nuisance at times. Any wireless interface sucks plenty of power so it is one of the first things that gets shut down when in power saving mode.

Equally, the suggestions to check which channel your Wif fi router is using are equally valid as the whole process could be triggered by your router using a congested channel, which leads to higher power consumption by your laptop/PC. Look for and select a quiet channel but in any case, change the default channel to another one not the default that the router is set to use.
