Recently installed Windows 11. The wifi remains connected for sometime and then after some time drops. Nothing I do can reconnect again. Only a complete restart fixes the wifi and then after sometime the connection gets dropped again. What can I do to fix this?

    I updated all the network device drivers with latest plus switched from private to public network. Seems to improve the connectivity…

    "Update and Security" is not an option. Do you mean "privacy and security"? If so then the item "troubleshoot" is not in that menu either. This was simply unhelpful.

    Thank you again for this possible solution. Unfortunately this did not solve the issue. I have reset the network and still issue persists...I have also performed several actions using the Command feature of the laptop:

    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

    Oddly, I started to stream from my Amazon Fire stick through the tv set last night and the internet kept dropping out during the show. I wonder if this indicates that the problem could be in the router/modem and not my laptop?

    I've sent a 'help request' to my ISP...again...asking if router could be faulty.

    If I ever find a solution to this issue, I'll post it here.

    Several issues can cause this problem. The correction described here in Woshub works if your device is displayed in the manger window. Unfortunately, the Device Manager entry for my device did not display the Power Management tab.  

    https://woshub.com/internet-or-wifi-disconnected-after-sleep/

    So, I changed the Advance tab Selective Suspend property value to Disable. See the screen shots below.

    Prior to changing the Selective Suspend property value I researched this feature. Almost no information is available for this setting. Since the title is Selective Suspend, I assumed this is refers to a power time out. So, I tried this and the results are as follows.

    I found after changing the Selective Suspend property value to Disable the WiFi icon is present in the lower right corner after restoring the computer from sleep mode. If “internet is not available” is displayed on the WiFi icon you can restart the connection from there. Note, the computer may take 30 seconds for the Windows 11 Operating System to reload and restart the 802.11 device following sleep mode.

    Only once have I had to perform this procedure. And, I routinely Shut Down my computer. This has worked flawlessly for a week.
