Hi All,
I have been having this issue with my wireless connection in my apartment.
Basically every time I connect my laptop (HP Omen) to the connection, it makes the connection in the whole apartment drops out every few minutes.
However, if I keep my laptop turned off and just use my iPhone or iPad, the wireless signal remains stable and with no drops whatsoever. Hence why I have managed to narrow it down to my laptop causing the issue.
As I believe it is a wireless card problem (I have tried uninstalling/reinstalling new and updated drivers with no success), I purchased a TP-Link AC600 Wireless Dual Band USB adapter to act as my wireless card.
After I plugged in my wifi adapter, it seemed to work well. However, suddenly my Intel wireless card kept trying to take over!
I uninstalled my intel drivers for my laptop wireless card from device manager, but every time I restart my computer, the intel drivers come back again and my original intel wireless card takes over from the USB adapter.
It's driving me mad, I've tried everything including disabling the device from device manager, going to advanced settings to disable the automatic driver installations... But the drivers still comes back!
And to make matters worse, the issue with the frequent disconnections came back even when I'm on a USB Adapter.
Is there also any way I can check whether or not its some software trying to disconnect me from the network frequently as well? Perhaps it might not be a wireless card problem?
Would appreciate all your help as this has been driving me mad.
Thank you!
