Note: In not knowing how to move a thread, feeling this is a hardware issue, I created a new thread here:
My network/Internet connection goes dark a couple times per day. The adapter actually disappears from Network Connections. Upon a reboot, adapter is re-enabled and all good. During the time its down, I still have BT connection which comes from the same card. Any thoughts?
My first guess is a problem with the network-portion of the hardware card. If this was a mobo issue, ie. pcie slot, wouldn't I lose both WIFI and BT connections?
Edit: Replacement adapter... same occurrence. Leading me to believe this is mobo/hardware issue. Would it beneficial to run an image fix process? How else could I rule out OS/software issue?
[SOLVED] - WIFI Adapter Problem
My wireless network/Internet connection goes dark at seemingly random times, possibly under heavy load. The adapter actually disappears from Network Connections. Upon a reboot or disabling/re-enabling toggle in Device Manager, adapter is re-enabled and all good. I have ruled out… bad card...
