Compaq 15-s019nf : Wifi pb since upgrading from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10

[Pierre772]

Hello

Since upgrading to Windows 10, the wifi reception has not been so good : I no longer can work in the second floor of my house with this notebook. All other devices  : notebooks, smartphones, etc still receive the wifi perfectly in that room

I wanted to update the driver but I didn't find it (the page says it doesn't find it).

Would it be necessary to change the card too ? If yes, what are the references ?

Thanks !

Maybe a Wi-Fi dongle.

Hi

Thanks for your fast answer !

The last one, I guess ?

A wifi dongle ? What do you mean ?

Hi

or get a repeater.

Hello

Repeater, I know

Dongle : the idea is good, thanks

However, I would have liked the explanation for the regression with Windows 10

Hi

Well 2.4 Ghz is for range usually and should be best option, I have an 8723BE and it seems to have a good range.

However....

Hello

A question : I bought a 'dongle'

Is it necessary to desactivate the wifi card of the computer ?

Thanks !

[Lil_Boy_Blue]

Hi

No not at all, unless it would save any battery life.

Hi

Thks for your answer !

Have a good week !

Hello

The key (dongle) works perfectly ; I didn't desactivate the native card

We are expecting for the repeater too

Good week !
