Keep Losing Internet Access

Hi all,

I seem to remember coming across this problem last time i installed windows 10, but it fixed itself.

My windows 10 PC keeps losing wireless connectivity, it's not a router/broadband issue as my other machines can still get out. I will get "limited connectivity" to fix it i simply disconnect from the network and reconnect again and it will stat working again. all updates are done but this prob keeps occurring. anyone come across this and any ideas on how to fix it?

Thanks in advance.

How are you connected to the router? Wireless or wired? Is it the PC in your sig? What router is it?

Connecting on the 5ghz band, wirelessly. all other devices stay connected and pretty much everything i use is wireless. Its something to do with windows 10 i reckon. downloaded the latest driver for the wireless network card for windows 10. the router is a Virgin Media Superhub v2. its only this one PC i'm having a prob with.

And what model is the wireless card? How far is the PC from the router? Tried the latest drivers for the wireless card from the manufacturer's site? What about if you connect to the 2.4GHz band? You're not really giving much info for us to help

Check for a firmware update for the card and power saving settings on it.

I also have this, have done since I put windows 10 on, googling around and it seems to be an issue with windows 10, tons of people are having issues with w10 and wireless USBs 5GHz.

Mine is the TP-link archer 1200 AC, only way to avoid the issue is to use 2.4GHz.
