WiFi Problems with Windows 10

After I upgraded Windows 10 (from Windows 7), I began to experience, problems with my WiFi connection. From time to time the WiFi icon (bottom right corner) next to the clock will display small yellow ! sign saying "No Internet Access". Also games (WoW,LoL) are causing this thing to occur. My internet is not the problem, my laptop was running perfectly on Win7. I have couple of other devices here at home running perfectly - phones, smart TVs and two other machines running Windows XP and Windows 7. They have good stable connection while on this laptop shows "No Internet Access". The laptop is literally next to the router, so there is zero signal distortion. I have tried some things which I found on the web but none of them helped. The laptop is Lenovo G580 Please help me, because this is getting ridiculously annoying.


 


I wrote a ticket to Riot Games and they gave me a guide to follow which was supposed to help me (guess if it did  :D ) That's it: https://support.riotgames.com/hc/en-us/articles/201752664#section-windows.


 


PS: Last year I installed Windows 8.1 on the laptop and I had similar problems, I couldn't fix it so I installed Windows 7 back.


 


PS2: This "No Internet Access" problem is not constant. Its from time to time and whenever I launch a game. There are 3 things that help fix the problem temporary:


 


1. Turn the WiFi off and then on


2. Disconnect and then connect to the network


3. Restart the router

Probably an issue with something not working correctly in Windows 10.. Don't early adopt a OS within less than a month or two it came out. You're bound to expect issues with it.

I began to experience, problems with my WiFi connection

I used to have WiFi problems with Windows 8. I couldn't permanently keep the WiFi on, it would occasionally lock up and freeze the entire charms menu. Device Manager was my only help in restarting the WiFi adapter. Those however happily went away with 8.1.

 

What WiFi card do you use?

Speedtests

WiFi - 7ms, 22Mb down, 10Mb up

Ethernet - 6ms, 47.5Mb down, 9.7Mb up

The WiFi card is Broadcom 802.11n, I've tried to disable my adapter then enable it again from Device Manager, but nothing changes. Tried to "auto update the driver", but it's saying that I already have the newest driver. There is no drivers for my laptop in the Lenovo website for Windows 10, so I went to download the driver for Windows 8.1, but since it is an inbox driver it doesn't even give me download link.

Heyyo,

Tried forgetting network and reconnect?

http://techzend.com/forget-saved-wifi-network-windows-10/

Another thing to try is good ol' netsh.

1. Open Start menu and search for command prompt. Right-click it and "Run as Administrator"

2. Type in then press enter on... netsh winsock reset

3. Type in then press enter on... netsh int ip reset

4. Close command prompt and restart windows.

Tried both of the things, but still no change :(

So, if your "laptop is literally next to the router" why don't use something very simple like cable for connection? Wi-Fi is easy way, but old cable is reliable way to use internet...

 

And who was the idiot that told you to upgrade from 7 to 10? When you have a problem with Wi-Fi in 8.1 what the f*ck makes you think that you will NOT have SAME problem in 10? Or you expect someone to write new drivers now, 3+ years after releasing Win 8? 

It's simple- if there are no drivers that work nice or you have a problems in 8.1 there are big chances this problems to continue in Win 10... 

English is not my maternal language, so don't mind my mistakes...

Did you try to go at the manufacture website of the wireless card, and get the Windows 10 (or 8.1) drivers from there?

 

I searched all the possible places. Something helped, I think it was the thing you told me to install the previous drivers, not sure though. I don't have problems at the moment, but generally it feels slow. Doesn't matter I'm fine for now. Thank you all for your time :)
