Hi!
First of all, big thanks to the community for helping people in need on your spare time!
I have a problem where my computer decides to randomly turn off my wifi.
Sometimes it turns it completely off, sometimes it just restarts the adapter. There has only been a few times where i'm not able to get it back on what so ever, even after reboot. Only thing i can do to fix it then is to physically unplugg -> plugg the adapter and then everything is fine again.
This happens MANY times per day, at ANY given time, doing ANYTHING on my computer.
Wifi Adapter: ASUS USB-AC56
OS: Windows 10 Pro 64bit
PC specs:
SSD - Samsung SSD 850PRO 256GB
PSU - Corsair AX 860i, 860W PSU
MOBO - Gigabyte GA-Z97N-GAMING 5, Socket-1150
CPU Cooling - Corsair H80i GT Hydro Series CPU Kjøler
RAM - HyperX Fury DDR3 1866MHz 16GB Black
CPU - Intel Core i7-4790K
GPU - MSI GeForce GTX 970 Gaming 4GB PhysX
Things i've tried:
- Swapped out my old ASUS USB-AC56 for a new one. (was thinking it was faulty)
- Formatted my pc completely and tried without installing any programs, just windows update.
- Updated my BIOS to the latest F5 version from gigabyte.
- Unchecked the "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" in power management.
- Updated and downgraded drivers for the adapter.
- Tried my adapter in other pc's / laptops and on other wifi's, no problem what so ever.
- Have disabled all other network adapters. (mobo has onboard intel)
Things i haven't tried / don't know how:
- Read through Event Viewer (no clue how to read this "language"
- Run a crash / disconnect tool to see what's causing the reboot/shutdown of the wifi (don't know any)
Okay so, i am close to snapping as i've spent weeks now trying to figure out this annoying, painful issue. I am sure there has got to be a way of solving this, but my brain just ain't smart enough to figure it out. I need help.
I'm also starting to worry this could be hardware related, as i've swapped the adapter AND completely formatted to computer without any luck. But the computer is self built, with extreme caution and is not old at all. (and everything else works perfectly)
Any help is greatly appreciated, and i will be watching this thread like a hawk for suggestions / tips / similar issues that may help fix this.
Hope someone can help me
