If your Windows 10 computer


isn’t the only device with this
problem (say, the same thing
happens to your cell phone and
your Mac), it’s very likely that your
router is at fault, not your
computer or network connection.

Step 1: Change the power management

Right-click your WiFi icon at the


bottom right corner of your PC desktop
and click Open Network and Sharing
Center.

Click Change adapter settings.

Right-click your WiFi adapter and


click Properties.

Click Configure.

Go to the Power
Management tab. Untick the box next
to Allow the computer to turn off

this device to save power. Click OK.

Click Apply and OK to save and exit.

Check to see if your Wi-Fi connection is


back to normal. If not, you need to try
the next step.

Step 3: Update network adapter driver

If the steps above don’t fix your problem, it’s


likely that you’re using the wrong or
corrupted network driver. To resolve this
issue, you should try updating the wireless
network adapter driver to the latest
version.

There are two ways you can get the right


drivers for your wireless network adapter:
manually or automatically.

Manual driver update – You can update


your network adapter driver manually by
going to the manufacturer’s website for it,
and searching for the most recent correct
driver for it. Be sure to choose only drivers

that are compatible with your variant of


Windows 10.

Automatic driver update – If you don’t have


the time, patience or computer skills to
update your wireless network adapter drivers
manually, you can, instead, do it
automatically with Driver Easy.

Driver Easy will automatically recognize your


system and find the correct drivers for your
exact video card and monitor, and your
variant of Windows 10, and it will download
and install them correctly. Simply follow
these steps:

Download and install Driver Easy.

Run Driver Easy and click the Scan


Now button. Driver Easy will then scan
your computer and detect any problem
drivers.

Click Update All to automatically


download and install the correct
version of all the drivers that are
missing or out of date on your system.
You need the Pro version of Driver Easy
to do this, so you’ll be prompted to
upgrade.

Don’t worry; it comes with a 30-day


money-back guarantee, so if you don’t

like it you can get a full refund, no


questions asked.

(Alternatively if you’re comfortable


manually installing drivers, you can click
‘Update’ next to each flagged device in
the free version to automatically
download the correct driver. Once it’s
downloaded, you can manually install
it.)

After following these steps, your WiFi


connection should be more stable. If you
don’t experience an improvement, you might
have a hardware issue. In this case, it’s a
good idea to contact your computer
manufacturer for help.

Hopefully, you resolved this issue after
