[SOLVED] Internet/WiFi Issues After Upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 10

[Blindmonkey]

I recently upgraded my Windows from 7 to 10 and the internet has been falling out frequently ever since regardless of which network I'm connected to.

Is this a common issue that people experience during the upgrade? I have be researching and a lot of people have had issues with certain windows updates.

My PC is a custom build with an ASUS motherboard and a realtalk WiFi adaptor.

Thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time to read and reply back to this.

Yeah, seems like wifi adapters are one area where drivers aren't as compatible. Which ASUS board model? And I assume that you downloaded the latest drivers, if any?

I have a Q87M-E Asus motherboard. I went through each device on the Device Manager and manually checked if they had the latest driver, and the only 2 that didn't were the COM1 and COM2 ports.

Just to give a little more detail: the issue occurs mainly within the first 3-5 minutes after start up. The internet will drop out once after 1 minute or so, then come back after another minute. Then around 2 minutes later it will drop out a second time, again for 1 minute and then go back to normal and then run relatively smoothly afterwards as far as I can see.

It has since gone into FREE FALL since with it now cutting out constantly every few minutes. I have not changed on the system settings so I don't understand why it has now suddenly decided to become more frequent; at the time when it starting doing this I was watching/loading multiple YouTube videos at once, so perhaps the thing crumbles when under pressure(?)

I found the solution: the adaptor was outdated, simply just got a newer adaptor and it worked.
