I'm having a frustrating issue with my PC where it keeps connecting and disconnecting from the internet. It happens every minute, and even when I see that I'm connected, nothing loads. I've tried forgetting the network and reconnecting, left my PC off overnight, and reset my WiFi extender since I live in a basement suite. I've also run netsh and ipconfig commands to flush my DNS and reset my computer. All drivers are up to date, and I've uninstalled and reinstalled my WiFi driver. I'm at a loss and would appreciate any help!

Have you checked if the WiFi works on other devices? Like, can your roommates' phones and other gadgets connect without issues? That could help pinpoint whether the problem is with your PC itself or the network setup.
Since you mentioned you’re using Windows 10, sometimes there are settings that need tweaking. You might want to try disabling any power-saving settings for your network adapter. Go to Device Manager, find your WiFi adapter, right-click, go to Properties, and in the Power Management tab, uncheck "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power." It might help!
Yes, both my roommate's phones and his PC work fine, and our TV can run YouTube without problems.
