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

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.
open the cmd console and type ipconfig /all. search the result for every Wireless LAN adapter and verify that DHCP enabled says Yes.
All LAN adapters have DHCP enabled

Hi Archive-8,
Are the PC and router located on the same floor of the house or are they far apart? Are you using Repeater or Range Extender on your home network? Configure the mobile hotspot on your phone and check if you can connect to the hotspot on your PC.
My Pc is located on the 1st floor while the router is located on the ground floor.
We are using no repeater or range extender in the house and my attempt to connect to a wifi hotspot was unsuccessful
