My pc keeps losing wifi connections. I have tried lan and it's the same problem. If I do a clean install of windows my PC is fine. But as soon as I restart it or shut it down an turn it back on I lose wifi connection. Sometimes it will work and after 15 mins it turns off. 

I have tried new ram. New wifi card. And right now I have installed everything on a new motherboard with included wifi. Still same problem. 

I dont know if an initial windows update or some sort of driver is messing it up after I restart it.

The only way I can fix it is if I reinstall windows but then the problem comes back again as soon as I restart. 

 

Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.

do you have full driver installed bios is updated also the issue may lie with drivers with the wifi card or other issues but try those first (not 100%sure )

 

Ok I'll try drivers. What drivers should I download. What are the main ones. 

Also I dont think it could be bios. I updated my old motherboard bios and it did nothing. I haven't updated my new mobo bios. 

 

Would you say it's safe to say its software or could it still be hardware. I have no idea.

Could be the WiFi router itself, have you rebooted it or checked the settings on it? 

I have rebooted it. The main reason I dont think it could be router is because everything else works perfectly fine. I could try buying a new router and see if it changes anything. Then just return it if it doesn't work. 

 

What do you mean by check wifi settings?

You should be able to connect via IP address to your router, some also have USB connections to configure them.

 

For sure try all the drivers and other free stuff, but if you've done clean reinstalls your next step is the WiFi adapter or the router.

Yeah I'll try drivers. I already tried 2 wifi cards on my old motherboard and my new motherboard comes with built in wifi. And they all have the same problem. 

 

Is there a chance it could be my ssd. Because that's what windows is installed on?
