I have also posted this on reddit 

My probelm is exactly stated in the title, about three days ago I noticed my pc would randomly disconnect from the home Wifi only for Windows Troubleshoot to fix it (Either it was the defulat gatway or DNS). This was usully any problem our ISP (Virign media, UK) would have.

Now the problem is that I am completly unable to connect my pc to the wifi network, via a usb dongle or a new PCI card (TL-WN881ND V2, That i bought as I though the dongle was on the fritz) .

I am currently able to connect my pc to the internet via Usb tethering from my phone, But i'd prefer and more permanent solution.

I have attempted all the solucitons presented in the link below:

Any help would be grealy apreciated

Windows for home | Windows 10 | Internet and connectivity

Sorry for that.

Please extract all the files and paste on a new folder. Then open the device manager console, locate your device. right click the device and select update driver. Select the "browse my computer for driver software". Use the browse button to select the folder with the drivers extracted from the cab file and press next.

    To modify the random hardware addresses you can use the search box. Please, verify this function is Off.

    My computer is able to find WiFi networks.

    I am too far away from any ports to use wired LAN connection

    I can't find the option for Random Hardware Addressees, If it requires having known networks on my PC I have already deleted them to try and remedy my issue

    And I have tried the Network reset function twice

    If it means anything I am able to connect to the internet by using my mobile tethering.

    I have many questions to you.

    Can your computers discover any wifi?

    is it your ethernet connection working?

    is it random hardware addresses enabled?

    hae you tried the network reset function?
