I've had my Windows laptop for about four months now, and it's been constantly dropping the wifi connection. I've tried various fixes like resetting the network, troubleshooting options, adjusting power settings in the device manager, and even uninstalling and reinstalling the network drivers, but nothing seems to work. It's really frustrating! What else can I do to resolve this issue?

You might want to check what type of wifi card is installed in your laptop. If it’s a MediaTek Wi-Fi 6 card, I recommend replacing it with an Intel wifi card, as MediaTek cards are known to frequently disconnect.
When your wifi drops, you can check the Event Viewer on your laptop. It logs events and should provide insights into what's causing the disconnect. That might help you narrow down the issue.
A good way to figure out whether it's a hardware or software issue is to create a Bootable USB Drive with a Linux Live Session. If the connectivity problem continues in Linux, then your Wireless Network Adapter might be failing. If it works fine in Linux, then it could be a driver or operating system problem.
