Question MSI 970a-g46 usb tethering randomly disconnecting ?

[punkncat]

Another idea came to me, and this is totally grasping at straws.
I noted that you say this works with other computers in the house. I am unsure if you can utilize Internet Connection Sharing with a USB tether...but...

On the system where this is disconnecting frequently, does it have a list of connections under your Network tab?
IE, has this PC been connected to a beacon, repeater, wireless access point that is still in use in the location and does not have internet? And to further that, were any of the possibly existing prior connections checked on the "connect automatically" tab?

Is this disconnecting in any way related to inactivity on the PC?

I used a program called "tether' some years ago in a location where I could not get internet and it would disconnect after just a small amount of time of inactivity.

No, i am active on it and it disconnects me from it when im using the wifi.
And when I'm not using the wifi it keeps working.

No, the programs i used did not work or removed wifi speed and added more latency with is bad

@Vvvn , check post #26, especially in relation to this happening on WiFi.

Your English is very hard to understand.

When you connect your phone to your pc via USB you have a pop-up asking if you want it to be a private network or public, and obviously, i tried both, and both disconnect.

Without the phone attached, is your PC connected to any other network?

My apologies. I took French for 3 years back in high school and at this point know about enough to say hello. Use it or lose it, they say.

No, nothing is there.
I need to plug the phone to get wifi.

When you say wi-fi, do you mean to connect to your own home network or to your local cellular telephone service provider?

That isn't what would normally be referred to as "wi-fi". That term is usually used for a home/school/work wireless network, managed by a local wireless router.

What you are describing is wireless tethering, not wi-fi. Should still work to provide internet access for your PC.

If you find a fix let me know

You can test the USB theory by using a powered hub. If it's a power issue I'm not sure if its that or a lower end PSU that can provide enough 5V power.

I lean a bit more towards dying board.

I think something is burned under the big MSI logo heatsink..

I have to check it.
Downgrading the pc to windows 8.1 gives you more MHz on your
DDR3 on taskbar but doesn't give more FPS than windows 10
