I replaced Windows due to an issue and now face WiFi instability. Connection lasts only a few seconds before dropping. Multiple devices—PCs, phones, tablets—can join, but my PC stays isolated from my network except when connected directly. On other networks I can browse or use friends’ connections, yet not my own. During setup I chose my WiFi as the default, which might be relevant. I reset the router and contacted the ISP, performed troubleshooting steps, and restarted the device several times. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Have you made sure to reinstall the latest and proper drivers for it?

I didn’t think it was the issue since I remain linked to other networks. Thanks! I’ll give it another shot.

Windows installs generic drivers at setup and then starts fetching the newest ones. This behavior, along with its attempt to obtain the latest updates, could be leading to the problem. Consider using drivers from the USB drive instead.
