Windows 11 keeps dropping wifi

I had the same problem with my laptop and it happened 2 times now. The 1st time it happened, I was connected to my prepaid wifi then suddenly there was an internet error, i tried reconnecting but no internet, my phone was surfing the web just fine so laptop was the prob. I tried disconnecting and reconnecting but there was error in connecting, so i tried restarting the laptop but that did not work and wifi settings disappeared. Thankfully, i had a LAN cable so I connected the laptop to the wifi, that did not immediately work but when i restarted both the laptop and wifi somehow the wifi settings was back to where it was supposed to be. Now, the second time it happened i was connected to our wifi at home, i did what i did the first time it happened but no matter how many times i restarted nothing happened. Then, I researched the net for tips how to solve this prob, ( fix that's more than just restarting cos it might be a serious prob already), I tried the troubleshoot setting fix, the device manager fix and had probably restarted my laptop for 10 times already but those did not work. What worked for me was the command prompt fix and hopefully the problem would not happen again or atleast just hoping the cmd prompt fix will the the work again next time.

Command prompt fix:

• search for CMD on search bar at bottom of screen or when you click start icon
• right click on command prompt then run as administrator
• type or copy and paste this command one by one:

netsh int ip reset

netsh advfirewall reset

netsh winsock reset

ipconfig /flushdns

ipconfig /release

ipconfig /renew

• restart your laptop

Hopefully this works for you too. And I do hope this gets a permanent fix in future software updates coz it's so troublesome.

I have had this issue in both W10 and W11 with 2 different PCs and 3 different routers.

I have the same issue. I have updated the wi-fi adpater, rebooted router, performed all troubleshoot suggestions...and my account is synced. Still getting internet drop outs.

Does Microsoft actually read these posts??

Well, folks, Linux is looking a whole lot better than MSvabove 10.

I’ll have to recycle my license agreements.

Does Microsoft have a way to clean-up an installation instead of relying on the vanilla upgrade setup???

The problems are probably due to an accumulation of backdoor attacks on my computer, s/w version incompatibility (I have all latest sw). Who knows what needs fixing - could be a registry problem-backdoor access, McAfee mismatch, adapter software glitch…

I’ll fix this f…ing problem and continue trashing MS… thanks for all that free labour I have to put into this repair!

I discovered that my accounts were not in sync. If you sync your Microsoft account, and your home (email page) & make sure they all have the same info about you, including the wifi account you are using, the problem should go away.
