wifi in laptop stops working sometimes requires me to disable and enable the adaptor

[113436_1454180223]

is the internal wifi thingy fucked or something?

 

i have no idea what additional information to add occasionally it will say its connected but theres no internet (but every other device on the network is perfectly ok) somtimes disconnecting and re-connecting solves this but sometimes disconnecting causes the laptop to be unable to see any wifi network at all for quite some time (disabling and re-enabling the adaptor seems to make this happen faster)

 

edit: might help if i add these wireless is an Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 operating system is windows 10

Used to happen to me. It fixed itself

this is a common problem on my laptop as well. Do you by chance have a really cheap laptop? I use a real cheap 2 in 1 and both the audio and wifi screw up a lot. I feel the $250 it sells for might affect the quality.

no this was like... £1200 or something its a clevo p170sm-a (i7 4710HQ GTX 970m 6GB)

 

wireless is an Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260

 

i have had it about two or thee years now but i would not expect the wireless adaptor to be shitting itself already (although it is on 24-7 almost i have had to replace the CPU fan about twice now due to the bearings going)

Is there a specific WiFi card you would recommend?

 

I also have the 7260 and the performance just seems to get slower and slower with each driver update.

Honestly I had the same problem. Try disabling the Proxy

The driver are bad. When they released the 7260 it was horrible. After some years they finally improved it but is still not perfect. If you want a better experience replace the wifi card.

would any wifi card work? i'm not 100% clued up on laptop wifi so if you could reccomend something on UK amazon

 

edit: from what i can tell its a half size mini pci-e wifi card the laptop has slots for msata but not M.2 sata

so local computer shop can do me an atheros AR 9287 for £15

 

to me that kinda seems a bit cheap is it any good or what?

 

edit: ok turns out its not a dual band thingy

I'm sure that intel wireless is better than the atheros one.

Try to repluging it? and install latest driver?
