Hi:

That is a very common problem with that model Wi-Fi card and the newer builds of W10.

Unfortunately, there is no solution other than to:

Go back to Windows 8.1.

Purchase a dual band USB Wi-Fi/Bluetooth adapter.

Replace the Ralink Wi-Fi card with one that works correctly in W10.

If you let me know how many antenna wires are connected to the Ralink Wi-Fi card, I will suggest a suitable replacement.

Below is the link to the service manual.

Hi:

Thanks for your reply

I can't switch back to win 7 as I am learning python programming language... Earlier win 7 was on my laptop but python is not supported on win 7

Can you plz suggest me a wifi card compatible with windows 10 21h2

You're very welcome.

In order for me to let you know what replacement Wi-Fi card will work, I need you to open up the notebook and let me know how many antenna wires are connected to the Ralink Wi-Fi card.

That is why I gave you the link to the service manual.

I want to give you the best Wi-Fi card you can install based on the number of antenna wires it has.

There will be one or two.

I also need to know the model Intel processor your 250 G3 has.
