HP Spectre Keeps Losing WIFI connectivity

[PMS1228]

I have had this computer a couple of years and  this problem has been recurring since then.

I will be connected to my home wi-fi network and i will lose the connection.  When i try to reconnect my wi-fi network does not display (nor any of the other nearby wi-fi networks).  my network icon has a red X.  

I will go to webpages that are cached and still get page not found message.

I have worked with HP and they have taken control of the computer with no resolution.  We are up to date on all drivers. 

I have a Netgear Genie router.

I'm thinking it may be the wireless networking card however I don't know how to test this.

Hello@PMS1228

Welcome to the HP Forums.

I would like to take a moment and thank you for using this forum, it is a great place to find answers.

I see that you have the wireless connectivity issue on the printer. 

I would like to help.

Superb job on trying the different steps to isolate the issue.It is a genuine pleasure to work with technically competent customers like you.

However, I will need a few details to provide an accurate solution,

May I know since when are you facing this problem?

Are other devices working fine with the same network?

Please get back to us for further assistance,cheers:)

I apologize as I did not see your response.

First of all this is happening on my x-360 Spectre, not a printer.  It is when i connect to the internet with my Spectre.

This has been happening ever since I purchased the computer.  After a frustrating several weeks I sent it back to HP who indicated they had done some troubleshooting however the problem continued to occur.  As there was no recourse I continued to use the computer with the same issue.

I have a Microsoft Surface that works fine on the same network. 

I have run a speedtest on both machines and the HP is consistently and significantly slower on both uploads and downloads than the Surface.

Hi @PMS1228

Please perform the below steps to fix this issue.

Before proceeding with these steps, create a Restore Point.

- Open Control Panel, change view to Small Icons, then select "Recovery".
- After creating a Restore Point, open Device Manager.
- Open the "Network Adapter" list, and find the WiFi adapter.
- Right Click the driver, and select "Disable“ and “Re-Enable”
- Check if Wifi connects. If not, continue with the steps below.
- Open CMD as Admin:  Copy the following commands, and press enter after each one.

-

netsh int tcp set heuristics disabled
netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled
netsh int tcp set global rss=enabled

netsh int tcp show global  (Check if All settings have taken effect)

Reboot the system and see if it works.
