Wifi driver not working properly in window 10.

[RajitJuyal]

While working in my laptop wifi will stop working. it will show as connected but with no internet on it.

Also it will not show other wifi of my area. If I switch off wifi and again switch on it then no wifi will be available.

Only restart is solution.  Sometime when Switch ON my laptop wifi driver will be not there.

Wifi Driver :intel dual band wireless-ac 3160

Hi

Your exact make and model may help.

To look for a clear channel to aid connection I use http://inssider.en.softonic.com/download.

To check if a driver has been loaded I type, as an administrator, in a command prompt

netsh wlan show drivers

 then

netsh wlan show interfaces

both of which should return something positive...

C:\WINDOWS\system32>netsh wlan show drivers

Interface name: WiFi 2

Hi

Do you have this driver set available?

C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRIVERS\NETwbw02.sys
C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRIVERS\Netwfw02.dat
C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRIVERS\vwifibus.sys

The v is for virtual, Wi-Fi bus system.

Also Intel has newer drivers

perhaps you may want to try them, as it seems crazy that no interfaces etc are showing but you installed drivers for a Wi-Fi device.
