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?

Windows for home | Windows 11 | Windows update

    Ok doing this has made a massive difference. I am able to switch off the ping hack.

    The only energy-saving option on my Intel hardware was the MIMO Power Saving Mode, I switched this to "No SMPS" and the connection is now stable. It had defaulted to "Auto SMPS".

    What I don't understand is why it suddenly started behaving badly after 10 months of stability. It has to be the recent Windows 11 update??

    Yes! I'm in the same boat? NOT understanding why Microsoft make Windows Turn off the Wifi constantly? - And IF? - This Behaviour is for the average user? - To Save power? - Or alike? Then. They Ought to make it EASY for the User to Easily Shift Between power saving via the Wifi Connection Or NOT? -?

    I totally agree with Your settings - and am likewise puzzled that You have to go through all these settings -troubles - To change the behaviour of this problem regarding WiFi -auto -off?..?! ..

    And Yes. I've Come to the same conclusion as You mention! In the settings! ;D

    And I think You are Right? It's the Shift to Windows 11 that makes this even worse? And? When. The Updates to Windows 11 roll in? It changes things, that up til now have been functioning alright? Too!?

    K.R.'s!

    I also purchaed HP Pavilion 14 with Windows 11 preinstalled and then i Fresh Installed Windows 11 after receiving it. I am also facing this issue daily. I did all methods but still the issue is not resolved. @microsoft should resolve this issue as soon as possible because this is really irritating .

    Hi Again! 'I Totally Agree!? - It's a pure Nuisance...?! And a cumbersome trial / 6 errors to find the culprit for this?!

    Personally? On My Dell XPS desktop. On Windows 11. Dev. Prev. (With the latest update).. And a 5G Gigabit network..? With a mobile Router?

    I followed the link I gave you. To the YoyTube Video...!? And Setting my ethernet and WiFi lines: Both! - To Privat Did the thing for me.. Together with the rest of the suggestions shown in that YouTube -video?!

    Since then. My Wifi -Connection - is always ON, When the PC starts up!? - And Stays ON?! - For the rest of the day!? - No more Wifi Cutting off...!?.. for me?!

    I hope You Find exactly the Point? -Method? - That help You to obtain the same?!..

    Good Luck! - From
