For months now my laptop has been disconnecting itself from the WiFi every few minutes or so. The laptop is over 2 years old and was fine until February or March.
Sometimes its absolutely fine, then other days its terrible.
This has happened on two different WiFi networks. Other laptops and phones have stayed connected without any issues.
If I plug the router straight into the laptop there are no problems but this is not much of an option.
I have updated the connectivity drivers associated with the WiFi as advised on a previous thread and I have blocked all other WiFi signals.
Has anyone else experienced this or know how to repair it please?

@BasildonJames81 Welcome to HP Community!
I understand that the laptop keeps disconnecting.
Here's a guided troubleshooter that will help fix this issue: Click here
Try these steps:
Go to Device manager > select the WIFI drivers under network adapter> Right click go to properties > Under properties go to Power Management Tab> Uncheck "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power".
If issue persists, continue with the below steps:
-
If your computer has a wireless key or button on or near the keyboard and the wireless activity light is off or amber in color, then press the key or button to enable your wireless adapter. This key might be the F10 key, F12 key or labeled with a symbol of an airplane.
-
If wireless activity comes on or the activity light turns blue, you have enabled wireless on your system. Try connecting to the Internet again. If problems persist, continue using these steps.
