No Im not going to buy another network adaptor when my laptop already has one
Windows 11 keeps dropping wifi
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?

FINALLY SOLVED! The problem was in the network adapter that came installed with Windows 11, I bought an exterrnal USB wireless network adapter and it worked!

In Win 11 - Go to Settings, Network & Internet on left, Advanced network settings on right, scroll down to "More network adapter options".
Right click on the network adapter in question and choose properties then click the "Configure" button in the properties window.
In the new properties window, the last tab should be "Power Management", click that then uncheck the box that allows the computer to manage device power.
This has worked for me on various occasions.
