WIFI is constantly losing connectivity, have tried different networks and updated all drivers

[monchavez16]

I am having very frequent WIFI connectivity issues. These issues have been going on for the past 2 months, I connect to a network and about 10 minutes later am disconnected and it stays like that the remainder of the time I am on WIFI. I have already updated windows and the drivers, nothing seems to fix it.

Welcome to HP Community

I have gone through your Post and would like to help

I suggest you download and run the HP Support Assistant from this Link: https://www8.hp.com/us/en/campaigns/hpsupportassistant/hpsupport.html?jumpid=va_r602_us/en/any/psg/p...

HPSA will automatically search for all the latest drivers for your Notebook

1. Click My devices in the top menu, and then click Updates in the My PC or My notebook pane.

   

2. Click Check for updates and messages to scan for new updates.

   

3. Review the list of updates. Updates with a yellow information icon are recommended. Updates with a blue information icon are optional.

4. Click the update name for a description, version number, and file size.

5. Select the box next to any updates you want to install, and then click Download and install.

Also ensure Windows is up to date.

Select the Start  button, and then go to Settings  > Update & security  > Windows Update , and select Check for updates. If Windows Update says your device is up to date, you have all the updates that are currently available

Keep me posted how it goes

Thank you and have a wonderful day 😊

I had previously completed all the tasks you listed but did it one more time to see if I missed anything.  Everything was already up to date, this did not change or help with my wifi issue. What is the next step to getting this issue fixed? I use my computer everyday multiple hours out of the day for work so this is a huge problem for me.

Disable the Power Off option for the adapter:

2. Expand the Network adapters.

3. Right click on the Ethernet/Wireless Adapter and click Properties.

4. Click the Power Management tab.

5. Remove the check mark beside Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power.

6. Click OK.

7. Test.

Reset the TCP/IP settings on your PC:

1. Go to your start screen/menu and type CMD.

2. Right click on the command prompt icon and chose Run as administrator.

3. In the window that opens type "netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt" without quotes, and press enter.

4. Restart your PC and test.

It may also help to reset the winsock catalogue:

1. Go to your start screen/menu and type CMD.

2. Right click on the command prompt icon and chose Run as administrator.

Reinstall the network adapter drivers:

4. Right click on the wireless adapter and choose Uninstall.

Hello, I do not have the option you asked for in step 3 ( 3.. Right click on the Ethernet/Wireless Adapter and click Properties) nothing listed states Ethernet/Wireless Adapter. Could this be the reason I am not able to stay connected to any WIFI?
