I keep losing wifi connectivity.

 

Sometimesthe Ralink RT5390R802.11bgn wifi adapter disappears altogether

 

I have installed latest Ralink wireless LAN  adapter driver

 

Do you have a link to the LATESTupdate to this adapter as this is driving me bonkers! (march 11, 2017)

 

As I type I have lost wifi connectivity.

 

Yes I can go to device manager and go through the uninstall/restart rigmarole but this can happen six or eight times a day and obviously should not happen.

 

I have looked evrywhere online for latest version, w10 compatible, to no avail.

 

Can anyone help please?

 

thank you

I thought this solution had worked and it did for a while but the problem is back.

 

Wifi connectivity drops out randomly.

 

I refreshed my computer and took it back to a clean windows 10 installation but to no avail.

 

Any further suggestions?

 

In addition my sound card randomly emits a growling sound and audio cuts out.

 

As with network adapter reinstalling driver fixes it temporarily but its not a solution.

 

I wonder if the two things are connected?

 

Any help appreciated.

Hi @ felixx1, I am the @Chimney_83. It looks like you were interacting with @The_Fossette, but he is out of the office today so I'll take over from here.

 

Thanks for the reply, as you have performed a reinstall of the OS, recommend you run HP Support Assistant to make sure all the drivers are updated. Click here for assistance. 

Make sure all the Windows updates are installed. 

If the issue persists, please open the command prompt as administrator and type sc config storsvc type= own and hit enter, this should give you Success prompt as shown in the image below. 

 

 

This should resolve the issue you are facing. 

 

If the information I've provided was helpful,

Please give us some reinforcement by clicking the "Accepted Solution" and "Kudos" buttons,

That’ll help us and others see that we’ve got the answers!

Good Luck.

Hi everyone and thanks for your suggestions.

 

I have tried them all but I'm sfraid nothing works consistently and wifi connectivity still drops out randomly and irritatingly regularly.

 

Is there an alternative/generic network adapter I could try in place of the realtek rubbish?

 

cheers
