Wifi/ ethernet stops working randomly

BigOleDilly666 · September 16

To start my pc specs are.

Windows 11 pro 64bit.

Motherboard: MSI pro B550M-VC wifi.

CPU: Ryzen 7 5800x.

GPU: rx6800.

Ram: 32gb G.SKILL Royal 3600 cl16.

PSU: CoolerMaster MWE Gold 850w v2.

Bios version: latest.

My problem: My wifi and ethernet will randomly stop working no matter what task is being done, as in no networks show up in the wifi and ethernet says not connected. It only works again after I disable them both and re enable them in device manager. I have reinstalled the drivers and done a network repair with no luck, I'm not sure what else to try and help will be great.

If you are using antennas, then check the connection of those and for the Ethernet check the connections and maybe try to see if the router is failing and if it’s just your pc being affected.

I am using antennas and they seem to be fine, i have also unscrewed them and swapped the 2 aroundand it made no difference. as for the ethernet/ wifi, it works fine on my brother pc as well as every other device in the house, I have tried 3-4 different ethernet cables as well and no luck. I had seen some posts about other people having the wifi problem and replacing the wifi card fixed it, I don't think that would make the ethernet not work though.
