I've been struggling with my PC randomly disconnecting from WiFi for about a year and a half. Despite having this PC for three years, it allows for 10-20 minutes of gaming before I hear the keyboard disconnection sound three times, and then I get booted off WiFi.
When I try to reconnect, it says the network is unavailable, and I have to restart my PC to get it to recognize the Ethernet connection. I even thought the Ethernet would solve the issue, but it persists! Additionally, sometimes when I reset my PC, it gets stuck on the "pro series" loading screen, forcing me to turn it off and on again. Although it works fine sometimes, I still find myself facing repeated disconnections.
Here's what I've tried so far: updated my drivers, reset my WiFi, plugged and unplugged my PC, got a new router, installed a new WiFi card, and even followed some strange YouTube fix that I can't quite recall. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I faced similar issues with my Windows 11 laptop. I used an external adapter to fix the integrated WiFi problems, and it worked temporarily. Eventually, I switched to using an Ethernet cable, and since then, I've had no issues. I recommend getting a quality CAT6 or higher cable and try configuring a static IP with reliable DNS settings. Don't forget to disable the integrated WiFi adapter in your settings while using Ethernet to avoid conflicts. Also, make sure all your Windows updates are installed; I've seen many cases where they mess with network connections if they're overdue!
Is your PC a laptop or desktop? Based on what you've tried, I wonder if it might be an issue with your operating system. Are you using Windows 10 or 11? I had a similar experience with my Windows 11 laptop, and it drove me nuts!
It's a desktop.
I'm using Windows 11.
Definitely check your USB connections inside your PC as well. If any wires are loose or if too many devices are connected, it could be causing issues.
