Internet connection drops out temporarily

[MatthiasD]

I got a new laptop, and as I was browsing and watching videos, I noticed that every so often my internet would drop out and say "connected, no internet." This problem would resolve itself if I waited long enough or if I disconnected and reconnected to the modem. Is this a laptop problem or just typical crappy AT&T service? Is there anything I can do to fix it?

All other devices on your network are fine when your new laptop loses connection? You might have to tweak the laptop's network card. There might some settings that could be interfering with the rest of the network. Unfortunately these days, network standards and full compatibility are difficult to maintain especially between old and brand new devices.

Hi, thanks for the reply. To the best of my knowledge, none of the other devices are dropping out like this. Do you know how I can tweak my network settings to better accommodate my modem?

It appears upon further research that it may be Windows 10 causing these problems http://www.drivethelife.com/windows-10/fix-no-wifi-available-after-windows-10-update.html
