Having Issues with WiFi on My Gaming Laptop – Help!

Asked By TechWhiz93 On

I've got a gaming laptop I've been using for about two years, and right now, it's my only computer while I'm away from home. I'm running into a frustrating issue where the WiFi keeps dropping. It shows that I'm connected, but then it can't connect to the DNS. My phone gets a steady connection just fine. I tried using my phone's data, which connects but says there's no internet. I've done all the usual troubleshooting: restarted the router, uninstalled the LAN card, tried some command prompt tricks, and even reset my computer to an earlier save point. Each solution works for a little while, but the issue keeps coming back, usually by the end of the day. I'm taking online courses, so I really need to figure this out without having to send my laptop in for repairs. Does anyone have any advice?

It seems like you've done a great job troubleshooting already. Have you tried changing the DNS settings on your laptop? Using Google’s DNS (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) can sometimes solve these kinds of issues. Also, it might be worthwhile to check if there are any conflicting programs or settings in your network configuration. If everything else fails, a network reset could help too—just be prepared to re-enter all your WiFi passwords afterward!
