Issues with Wi-Fi on Windows 10
Issues with Wi-Fi on Windows 10
After upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 10, I started facing WiFi issues. Occasionally the icon in the bottom right corner next to the clock shows a small yellow "!" indicating no internet access. This happens especially when playing games like WoW or LoL. My laptop runs perfectly on Windows 7, and other devices at home—phones, smart TVs, and two Windows XP/Windows 7 machines—have stable connections. The laptop is right next to the router, so signal quality seems fine. I've tried various online solutions but none worked. The laptop is a Lenovo G580. This is really frustrating. I've already contacted Riot Games via a support ticket, which provided some guidance (though uncertain). Also, I recall installing Windows 8.1 on the laptop last year and facing similar issues; I went back to Windows 7. This problem seems to occur intermittently, mainly when launching games. Temporary fixes include: turning WiFi off and back on, disconnecting and reconnecting to the network, or restarting the router.
I previously faced issues with Wi-Fi connectivity on Windows 8. I struggled to keep it active consistently, experiencing occasional freezes and shutdowns of the charms menu. The Device Manager helped restart the Wi-Fi adapter, but those problems disappeared after updating to 8.1. Could you tell me what Wi-Fi card you're using?
The WiFi card uses Broadcom 802.11n technology. I attempted to turn off and then re-enable the adapter via Device Manager, but no changes occurred. I tried initiating an automatic driver update, but the system confirmed it already has the latest version. The Lenovo website for Windows 10 doesn’t list drivers for my laptop, so I downloaded one for Windows 8.1, but it’s an inbox driver and doesn’t provide a download link.
Heyyo, Tried forgetting network and reconnect? http://techzend.com/forget-saved-wifi-ne...indows-10/ Another thing to try is good ol' netsh. 1. Open Start menu and search for command prompt. Right-click it and "Run as Administrator" 2. Type in then press enter on... netsh winsock reset 3. Type in then press enter on... netsh int ip reset 4. Close command prompt and restart windows.
So if your laptop is right next to the router, why not just use a cable for connection? Wi-Fi is a convenient option, but old cables are a dependable way to get internet... And who was the person who suggested upgrading from 7 to 10? When you face Wi-Fi issues in 8.1, what do you think will happen if the same problems persist in 10? Or do you think someone will write new drivers now—three years after Windows 8 was released? It’s clear: if no drivers work well or you still have issues in 8.1, there’s a high chance the same problems will continue in Windows 10...
