Hi Everyone
Currently using a HP Pavilion 15, updated from windows 7 to windows 10 as soon i bought it.
It is constantly disconnecting me from my network. i am connected via WIFI
My Netgear Genie fixes it each time but it happens multiple times a day. the netgear app state that my Realtek RTL8723BE 802.11 bgn Wi-Fi Adapter is disabled.
I have tried updating the drivers and it says it is up to date. on both the HP app and the windows update app.
Any ideas how to stop this happening?
Thanks in advance.
Solved! Go to Solution.
