Posted June 12, 2017 Ever since the creator update came out for Windows 10 my work laptop has been dropping my main home wifi. I have tried installing drivers, removing the access point from my list and re-adding it but nothing helped. The weird thing is, when I connect to my second network, provided my a TP-LINK range extender everything is fine, although it's the "same" network. Details: I have to wait for like 30 seconds to connect, the wifi bars appear for a couple of seconds, then the yellow triangle appears followed by disconnecting and the red X. I don't have this problem with any other devices or wireless networks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted June 12, 2017 To make it short, it's a known windows issue that it is picky with wlan. You could try a clean setup, but imho that won't fix it.

Posted June 12, 2017 Try a clean install. My Asus T300 Chi isn't having this issue after the creators update. It could be a signal issue as well, have you tried moving closer to your access point to see if that fixes the issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what do you reckon? I'm out of ideas. Maybe a factory router reset? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted June 12, 2017 Author Just now, Anghammarad said: not router, windows. Yes I understood that but that would be a pain in the arse because I don't know if I can install a 3rd copy of windows with the same serial as I did with my main pc and my other laptop and I don't really want to fuck everything up. Yeah I know pitiful problems. I just thought there would be a quick solution. Thanks for the help anyways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go to settings>recovery>reset computer and you want to delete everything. You can try the option where it keeps your files if you want but I don't think that will fix your issue, a full reset however might fix it.
