Wi-Fi disappears all the time. Troubleshooting unstable Wi-Fi. Checking the functionality of Wi-Fi hardware drivers

Some laptop users periodically complain that Wi-Fi disappears on their device for no apparent reason. It is worth noting that the problem is not the loss of Internet access, but the loss of connection to the router’s Wi-Fi wireless network. Moreover, this can happen quite often during the day, if you believe the reviews of many laptop owners.

If you are facing the exact same problem, then know that in this article we will look at the possible causes and solutions for it.

Wi-Fi router signal range

So, let's try to find out what is wrong with the Wi-Fi on your laptop. First of all, we recommend that you check the signal strength from your Wi-Fi router. Think about whether your laptop is too far from the router, as this may be the reason for the network that is always disappearing. Perhaps you are constantly losing connection to the Wi-Fi network due to the fact that your laptop is physically far away from the router’s coverage area. A Wi-Fi adapter may be able to latch on to a weak signal, but then it weakens so much that the connection can no longer be maintained. Also, do not forget that the propagation of the router signal can be affected by various obstacles in the form of walls, furniture and various household appliances.

Changing the Wi-Fi network distribution channel

Have you gone around and experimented with the signal range, but the wireless network still disappears on your laptop? Okay, then let's move on. Another reason why Wi-Fi on your laptop may disappear is interference or a busy wireless network distribution channel. By default, the settings of any Wi-Fi router should automatically select the channel for distributing the Wi-Fi network. However, perhaps this is the problem. You need to go into the control panel of your router and try setting a different channel for the wireless network.

To access the control panel of your router, you need to connect it to your computer via a network cable, and then enter the address specified on the Wi-Fi router or on its box into the address bar of your browser. For example, quite often you can open the control panel using the address http://192.168.1.1 or http://192.168.0.1. After opening the control panel, go to the wireless settings and find the Wi-Fi channel setting. If you have automatic channel selection, then try setting some static one from the drop-down menu. If they are static, try using automatic selection.

Save the settings and see if the Wi-Fi situation on your laptop has changed. If yes, then leave the channel settings in the router’s control panel and calmly use the connection on your laptop. If you have other devices, make sure that they also connect normally to the router's network. However, if your Wi-Fi adapter on your laptop still keeps disconnecting from the wireless network, then there is something else going on.

Disabling Power Saving Mode

Another reason why your laptop keeps disconnecting from the wireless network may be the power saving mode that is set in your power plan settings. Your laptop may be disconnecting from the network in power saving mode. So, right-click on Start and select “Power Options” from the context menu.

Once the power settings window for the system is open, click on the “Advanced power settings” link. In the next window that opens, you will be able to see which scheme your laptop is running on (you could select different power schemes through the battery icon in the notification panel). Select the power plan you need, and then click on the “Set up power plan” link.

In the window with options for turning off the display and sleep mode, click on the link “Change advanced power settings.” A small window will open with a list of power settings, among which you need to find “Wireless network adapter settings.” Open this option by clicking on the plus icon on the left side and set it to “Maximum performance”. Save the change to the laptop's power settings. All you have to do is uncheck one box in the Wi-Fi adapter settings.

Click on your keyboard Windows+R to open the Run utility. Next, enter the command in it devmgmt.msc and press Enter to open Device Manager. A window will open in front of you with a list of all the equipment present on your computer. Expand the “Network adapters” section and find your Wi-Fi adapter in it. Right-click on it and select Properties.

Here you need to go to the “Power Management” tab, as you might have guessed. All you have to do is uncheck the “Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power” option. Once everything is done, save the changes you made and restart your laptop. Now test your wireless network connection.

Reinstalling the laptop Wi-Fi adapter driver

Well, are there any results? Does your laptop stay connected to the network for a long time? Well, if the problem still remains, then we have only two options left: the driver for the Wi-Fi adapter is not functioning correctly or the device itself has been damaged. The last thing you have to do is test the theory with a bad driver for the adapter, but if after that nothing changes, you will have to go to a service center or buy a new adapter.

So, let's try to reinstall the driver for the Wi-Fi adapter. Fortunately, this is extremely easy to do. First, you need to find a driver package for your Wi-Fi adapter on the Internet, for example, you can do this on the official website of the laptop manufacturer. After downloading the driver, put it aside for later, as now we will remove the driver for the Wi-Fi adapter.

Open Device Manager as shown above and open Network Adapter Properties. Go to the “Driver” tab and click on the “Remove device” button. As soon as you click on this button, your Wi-Fi adapter will disappear from the list of devices. Close the Device Manager window and return to the downloaded driver. Run the driver installation, wait for the installation to complete, and then restart your computer.

Try connecting to your router's Wi-Fi network and see if your laptop disconnects from it. Quite often, a problem of this kind arises precisely due to the fault of the driver for the Wi-Fi adapter, which, for some reason, began to work extremely unstable and with a lot of glitches, for example, it can cause constant interruptions in access to the Internet or even disconnect from the wireless network .

We hope that reinstalling the driver was able to resolve your issue. However, if the laptop still keeps disconnecting from the wireless network, then as we suspected, there is definitely something wrong with your Wi-Fi adapter. As already mentioned, in this case, contact technical specialists or buy an external Wi-Fi adapter.

Electronic gadgets: computers, laptops, smartphones and tablets are found in every home. To ensure that all devices receive unlimited access to the Internet, users install routers in their apartments. These devices provide wireless access to the network from a single exit point. But here people are faced with a situation where the Internet periodically disappears through the router. We'll tell you how to solve the problem yourself, without involving specialists.

Wi fi can disappear on any device

Possible reasons

If the Internet speed fluctuates, check the router's access to the network. When access is stable, the indicators should glow a steady green light. When there is a problem on the line, the indicators flash. The network disappears due to interference or incorrect device settings. You can solve the situation by rebooting the router; there is a button on the back panel for this.

WATCH THE VIDEO

If the Wi-Fi connection is lost, the following messages are displayed on the monitor screen:

No internet access. The problem is caused by an incorrect connection or a problem with the line. In this case, the Internet via cable connection and remote access disappears.
Obtaining an IP address. due to incorrect network settings. Check the setting in Network and Sharing Center.
Lost connection. If constant, adjust the power setting. In particular, disable disabling network adapters to save power.

If the signal is unstable and the speed leaves much to be desired, contact your provider’s technical support.

Important! It is not the responsibility of the provider to set up a home connection if this item is not specified in the connection agreement!

If there are no technical faults on the line, but the signal level is still low, perhaps the problem lies in the reception. If Wi-Fi on your phone is lost, move your gadget closer to the access point. The speed has increased, which means there is interference on the path between the device and the router. The way out would be to install an additional amplifying antenna. When the signal level does not depend on the distance between the device and the access point, you need to look for a free connection channel. This situation is typical for apartment buildings, where several routers operate at the same frequency. Let's look at how to solve this problem.

How to connect to a free frequency?

If Wi-Fi on the router has disappeared, then you need to install the InSSIDer program on your computer. The application will scan for available wireless networks and display free channels with a graphical image.

Please note that the utility costs money. The free version is only available for Android mobile devices.

Let's understand how the utility works.

From the same graph it is clear that the fourth channel is free. To troubleshoot connection problems, you need to connect the router to a different frequency.

Please note that it is recommended to select a channel that is farthest away from other frequencies in use. It is worth considering that the frequency width varies between 20-40 MHz, and the channels are located 5 MHz from one another. Accordingly, the selected frequency will invariably overlap with neighboring ones. Choosing the right channel will fix the problem when the laptop loses the Wi-Fi network. It is worth noting that router models have from 11 to 13 channels of available connection, so reconfiguring the device will not be difficult.

If the network on your phone disappears, the mobile application will help. This utility will not only determine the free frequency, but will also help check the quality of reception at various points in the apartment. The application displays a graphical representation of wireless networks, allowing you to select the optimal frequency. Thanks to this, you can correct the situation when Wi-Fi on your tablet or mobile device disappears.

Other options

You need to check the default settings of the router.

The installed parameters must match the recommended ones. If there are discrepancies, the device does not work correctly. Some routers may not be able to handle the flow of information.
In addition, budget models do not support dual-frequency operation. High speed and dual-stream connection overheat the router. The result is unstable operation and causeless connection breaks. In this case, the solution to the problem is to replace the router.

There are several options for getting out of the situation; using the tips provided, you can establish a stable wireless connection in your apartment.

Hello, Tigran!

When using a laptop, quite often, especially in the last few years, you need to access the Internet for one reason or another. Using access to the global network using a cable is already inconvenient, given that WiFi routers of various configurations are very common today. I propose to consider possible equipment options for installation in your home or apartment.

Installation for home

The first thing you need to pay attention to is the range of the antennas, the edition of 802.11 technology, the number of antennas, and the rest does not matter. Cool "gadgets" are just a waste of money. The next point is the thickness of the floor walls. If you have thick walls, then you need to opt for a router with three antennas or two, but with a signal strength of 5 dbi. This will allow you to get good signal strength and “break through” walls with a radio wave.

If possible, place your WiFi signal transmission device closer to the center of the apartment, which will allow the router's sine wave to spread smoothly and evenly throughout the living area.

If your apartment or house has a microwave oven or radiotelephone, then you should try to place the WiFi repeater so that the distance between these devices is at least 5 - 8 meters. Otherwise, the waves will intersect, and the effect of “bandwidth jamming” will result.

We have come close to the subject of the problem indicated in the question. Let's figure out why the signal or speed may disappear, as well as where all the signal coming from the router may go.

Where does Internet speed go?

When a WiFi router is installed, it often happens that your neighbors already have one and can jam your signal due to its greater power. As described above, microwave ovens and cordless phones can affect the signal. To get rid of this, you need to specially configure your router. Settings require transmission frequency and channel. These settings can be found in the "Wireless" section of the router interface.

There is another option that your neighbors take away your Internet if they know your password. You can simply hack it and use the network secretly from you. Therefore, you should change your WiFi network password. This is also done in the "Wireless" section in the router interface.

Your router may fail due to voltage fluctuations in the electrical network, or manufacturing defects, or due to time of use. In this case, your Internet provider, which provides connection to the apartment, can help you. Contact him, explain the situation, and specialists, for their part, will check the line and connection to you. If there is something wrong with the device, they will tell you about it. You can also connect your laptop to another router, for example, your neighbor's. If everything goes well, then your router needs to be replaced.

Signal loss can be caused by a problem on the provider's line - damage to the optical line between houses or the twisted pair cable at the entrance. You can also clarify this point with your provider.

A wireless WiFi network has come to almost every home. Sometimes it “goes away” from there: technology has an unpleasant tendency to fail. In the case of Wi-Fi problems, it is easy to fix the problem yourself, without resorting to the help of specialists. The main task is to correctly diagnose a faulty network segment, and this article will tell you how to fix it.

Three main segments of a wireless network. Due to a glitch in one of them Wi-Fi does not work:

1. External problems: when the Internet provider’s signal does not reach the router (the device that “distributes” Wi-Fi).

2. Network problems: problems within the router itself. The router does not distribute the Internet.

3. Internal problems: problems with the computer that cannot connect to a working Wi-Fi network (typical message - authentication error).

External Wi-Fi faults

The first task when Wi-Fi is not working is to determine whether the signal is reaching the router. The vast majority of such devices are equipped with LED indicators. You need to find among the icons on the router body the icon responsible for indicating the external signal. This icon may have the following symbols:

If the corresponding LED blinks or lights up steadily, it means there is Internet, but the problem is in another segment - you can move on to the next section of the article. No icon is lit? This means the router has stopped working. Check the power supply and connect the device to a different electrical outlet.

If the indicator is not lit, this means that it is not receiving an external signal (the network is fully operational, but without access to the Internet). In this case, you should turn off the router, turn it on after a few seconds, then wait 1-2 minutes for the device to fully boot and try to “catch” the signal from the provider. It is also recommended to check the reliability of the cable connection with the router (in the case of mobile Internet, the functionality of the SIM card): if the physical connection is broken, then the router does not distribute the Internet.

Router problems

When an external signal is definitely “audible” on the router, but the computer cannot “catch” the Internet via a wireless network, you should check the presence of the network from another device - for example, from a smartphone/tablet, or from another PC. If mobile gadgets also do not work, then the problem lies in the router (another name for a router). If the connection on another device is working, then you should move on to the next section of the article - PC problems.

A router is essentially a small computer with its own processor, memory and a miniature operating system - firmware. From time to time, problems arise with it - like any computer. When the router stops working, first try rebooting the access point and wait a couple of minutes. Often this action is enough to restore Wi-Fi operation.

Fig: Logging into the router control panel: you need to enter the address 192.168.1.1 into the browser (on some models - 192.168.0.1)

You need to log into the router control panel. To do this, enter the address: 192.168.1.1 into the address bar of any browser (some models have a slightly different address: 192.168.0.1). You can usually find out the router's address in the device's instructions, and sometimes it is printed on the access point's body. The browser will ask for your username and password (usually the admin/admin pair).

By the way, if the computer requests authorization, this means that the router is just not distributing the Internet, but the Wi-Fi itself is working. If the login and password prompt does not appear, this means that the wireless network is completely absent. Try this: connect to the router wired - it comes with a short network cable. One end needs to be inserted into the port on the computer, the other into the port of a working router. After that, enter the address 192.168.1.1 into the browser again.

Got an "authentication error" message? Try entering your password and login again: in Latin letters, without using capital letters; You can also find out your login and password in the instructions. When everything is entered correctly, the main page of the control panel will open.

Although the design and interface language of each router manufacturer are different, there are general principles for working with the control panel. We will look at solving problems with Wi-Fi using the example of a TP-Link device.

Fig: Main page of the access point web interface.

1. If you connected to the router via Wi-Fi

Take a look at the screenshot above. This is the main (information) page of the router. Check that all indicators have non-zero values - as on the right side of the table in the picture. If at least one of them has a value like 0, “authentication error,” “unavailable,” 0.0.0.0, this is a reason to check again the presence of a signal from the provider and the cable connection. The router regularly distributes Wi-Fi, but without access to the Internet. Calling the provider's technical support is the best solution.

2. When Wi-Fi does not work (connection using a network cable)

Look for a section called Wireless (other names include Wi-Fi, Wireless Network, etc.). In the picture this section is marked with a green frame. Once there, find the checkbox to enable wireless communication and check it, then again set the network name and password for authentication in it, remove possible MAC address filters.

The Advanced options section should have approximately the same parameters as in the figure below:

· Channel selection: automatic;

· Bandwidth (20/40 MHz);

· Router operating mode: “access point” (or AP, access point);

· Mode: bgn for modern devices, or g for older PC models.

Reboot your Wi-Fi router and try connecting to the network again. Having trouble connecting? Try changing the name (SSID) and password, playing with the channel selection, choosing a different bandwidth. Reboot every time after changing the next setting if the interface requires it.

If your computer can't connect to a working Wi-Fi network

Often laptops are equipped with additional function keys for controlling devices: sound, touchpad, wireless adapter. Try to find the button with the Wi-Fi icon in the top row of the keyboard (F1 - F12) and press it simultaneously with the Fn key (bottom row). If the adapter does not work (it was turned off by accident, or to reduce power consumption), then after pressing this combination it will work again. You can check whether the adapter is turned on using the wireless icon near the Windows clock: a cross on the icon or the absence of an icon indicates that the adapter is turned off.

When the wireless network works on other devices, but in the Windows tray the wireless network icon is crossed out (or is completely absent) - the problem with Wi-Fi lies in a specific computer, and not in the network itself. This means that only this device fails to connect, but the Wi-Fi itself is operational. If the icon is marked with a yellow-orange dot, then try clicking on it and looking for the name of your network. It was found, but when entering the password an authentication error pops up? The problem is the wrong layout, the Caps Lock key pressed, or simply the wrong password.

In the case of a desktop PC, you must physically remove and reconnect the Wi-Fi adapter (usually a device the size of a flash drive, connected to the USB port at the back of the case). If the adapter is a built-in type (or we are talking about a laptop), try checking its functionality: right-click on “My Computer” / “Computer” - “Properties” - “Device Manager”.

Take a look at the “Network adapters” section: if one of them, especially those with the word Wireless in the name, is marked with a question mark, exclamation mark or cross, then the problem is a conflict between this device and Windows or with another PC node. It is enough to download the latest drivers for the wireless adapter and install them again - after this operation, the computer, as a rule, sees the network again.

In this case, an attempt to click on this control causes a message: unable to connect to the network.

The adapter is definitely turned on, the drivers are installed and there is no hardware conflict in the Device Manager, but the Internet still does not appear on the computer? There is probably a software problem with the networks. Let's check in the Windows Network Connection Center whether the OS considers this adapter to be enabled.

Fig: Windows Network Sharing Center

In the left part of the Center you need to select the “Change adapter settings” section. All Windows network adapters will appear in the next window. Take a look at the screenshot below: the wireless adapter in this case was turned off by software (highlighted in gray). In this case, the Internet does not work solely because the adapter is turned off. To enable it, just right-click and select “Enable”.

Fig: Software enable the wireless adapter

Finally, sometimes Wi-Fi experiences network incompatibility issues between devices. The router refuses to connect to the IPv4 protocol parameters that Windows offers it. You should “submit” to the router and give it the right to independently assign the network configuration. It sounds complicated, but in practice it's just one small adjustment.

Fig: Resetting the network adapter configuration in Windows

In the Network and Control Center, you need to select the current wireless connection, find the “Properties” item in it (screenshot on the left). In the dialog box that appears, find “Internet Protocol Version 4” and select “Properties” again. A window with IP address parameters will open. It is recommended to select automatic network configurations - so that the router can independently assign IP and DNS addresses (screenshot on the right). This method helps especially well if manually entered network addresses were visible in the window as in the right screenshot. This configuration is incorrect, and the computer does not see the network.

Conclusion

In those rare cases when the above tips do not help, you should not despair. Wi-Fi adapters and routers are reliable devices with excellent compatibility.

The reason why Wi-Fi does not work may be curious. For example, the home network was always called Home - and it worked great. But suddenly the neighbor had his own network with the same name - Home! The computer tries to connect to a new network, as if it were its own, and, naturally, fails, repeatedly displaying the “authentication error” message on the screen. Finally, there may be cases when payment for the Internet was not made on time.

Non-technical incidents like this happen regularly. Armed with the knowledge from this article, you can confidently answer the question - why the Internet does not connect via Wi-Fi, and what to do about it. Good luck with the setup, and may your connection always be stable and fast!

On a laptop. Thus, the connection to the Internet is broken, important notifications and alerts do not arrive, but, as you know, it is impossible to live without the Internet. Many blame device manufacturers for this - laptop or router, although the problem is most often easily solved with a couple of mouse clicks.

Today we will study the main possible reasons for the occurrence of such a situation, and find out what to do if WiFi on a laptop stops working.

WiFi turns off on a laptop - we solve the problem!

If the laptop’s connection to the Internet via WiFi is unstable and constantly breaks down, then there may be several reasons for this - either certain operating system settings, a device malfunction, or poor communication from the provider or cellular network operator.

xxx: And now - the WiFi password =)

Perhaps you should also pay attention to this video to understand what factors affect the stability of the WiFi connection.

Disable battery saving

The main reason why WiFi constantly turns off on laptops lies in the power and energy saving settings. Since a laptop is a battery-powered mobile device, manufacturers are trying to reduce the power consumption of the device in favor of greater autonomy and longer battery life.

By default, device performance when running on battery power is slightly reduced in favor of energy saving. Also, to avoid wasting electricity on unused functions, the operating system turns off some computer components. For example, if the WiFi connection is idle or not actively used, the WiFi adapter can be disabled to save power. Therefore, your favorite laptop, left unattended, carefully disables unnecessary functions and deprives you of a stable connection to the Internet.

Power settings are located in the control panel. However, please note that the manufacturer often installs additional programs that allow you to control power consumption, and the reason for WiFi turning off may be hidden in them.

Open the taskbar and select Power Options. The control panel and the item we need can be easily found using the search.

In the power supply window that opens, you can see which power management scheme is currently active for you, and also proceed to its detailed settings.

In the window that opens, you can configure the screen timeout and sleep timeout. We are interested in the point that changes additional power options.

Find the item responsible for WiFi operation. Here it is long called a wireless network adapter. Change the value to high performance.

After changing the power plan, reboot your device and check if the problem is resolved.

Reboot the router

If the problem persists, rebooting the router may help. The easiest way is to turn off the power and turn on the device.

You can also reboot the device through the administration panel by going to 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 in your browser, entering your username and password, and clicking the appropriate button. The exact address and reboot method depend on the device model, and the login and password must be changed from standard admin/admin to your personal ones.

Checking the network signal and the stability of the Internet connection

We discussed how to increase the speed of a wi-fi router and the Internet in one of the previous articles. In our situation, it’s worth paying attention to how far the router is from the laptop and what obstacles the signal passes through.

If, in addition to WiFi, the Internet is unstable over a wired connection, it may be worth calling your provider and resolving the issue of poor Internet with them.

Internet speed can be easily checked using an online service speedtest.net- after all, if the values differ from those declared by the provider to a lesser extent, this is a reason to be puzzled by the quality and level of the signal.

Reinstalling the driver

Reinstalling the wireless adapter driver may also help. To do this you need to do the following:

go to the website of your laptop manufacturer;
enter the model of your device;
select the operating system;
download the latest version and install the new driver.

The method for downloading software varies depending on the device manufacturer and model. Try to download the latest versions of drivers for your operating system and device.

We have looked at the most popular reasons that lead to laptop WiFi constantly turning off. It’s good if the problem was solved by changing the power plan, and the performance of both the router and the laptop does not raise any questions. If the problem cannot be solved, it may be worth contacting a specialist.

In this lesson we will talk about what needs to be done if the Wi-Fi network has disappeared or you cannot connect to the network from a certain device?

We will look at the sequence of actions, after which you can determine what is the cause - the Wi-Fi router or the device on which Wi-Fi does not work.

We have prepared 2 options - a text article and a video tutorial. Check out both options as they complement each other.

Article:

I recently received this question:

“hi, tell me, I bought a zyxel router.. the computer works, but the laptop does not via Wi-Fi. It says an unidentified network.. what should I do?”.

As I understand from the question, the user’s PC is connected to the router with a cable and has access to the Internet, but the laptop does not connect to the router via Wi-Fi.

In this article I will try to tell an approximate sequence of actions to solve this kind of problem. As an example, I will give screenshots of the settings of my home router TPLINK models TL-WR841N.

Stage #0. The easiest step is to start by simply rebooting both devices, perhaps one of them is “a little stuck.”

Stage #1. First, you need to check the wireless access settings in the router settings: name for Wi-Fi hotspot, openness to discovery, communication standard. For diagnostics, you can remove the password and encryption on Wi-Fi.

"Network name"- this name should appear in the list of Wi-Fi networks on the laptop.

"Mode"- this is a data transfer mode setting, it is better to select it with the maximum number of modes.

"Enable wireless broadcasting"- this is a general activation of wireless mode.

"Enable SSID Broadcast"- this setting is so that other devices can detect the router. If you do not select this setting, you will end up with a hidden network that not all devices can connect to.

For diagnostics wireless connection protection can be disabled.

In other routers, these settings may look different, but for diagnostics they must be set in the same way.

Here is an example of settings for the router D-LINK models DIR-615:

Stage #2. On the laptop, you need to check in the device manager that the Wi-Fi adapter is working properly.

If the Wi-Fi adapter does not work correctly, then you need to reinstall the driver for it.

If you don’t have a driver or are in doubt about an existing driver, then you need to go to the laptop manufacturer’s website and search there.

After this you can do search for Wi-Fi networks, find your network, and try to connect to the router.

If the connection is successful, check your Internet access.

If the connection fails, check the connection to the router from another device, for example, a smartphone.

Stage #3. If there is no connection to the router from other devices (or there is a connection, but no access to the Internet), then the problem is most likely in the router.

In this case, you can check the antenna mount on the router, perhaps reset the settings or update the router firmware, then reconfigure the Wi-Fi settings and check the connection to it again. If these steps do not help, you will have to take the router to a service center or replace it with another one.

Stage #4. If the connection was successful from other devices, then the problem is most likely in the laptop.

In this case, you need to check the Wi-Fi settings on the laptop again, perhaps reinstall the Wi-Fi driver, or remove the Wi-Fi adapter in the device manager and find it again.

One of the reasons for Wi-Fi malfunctions may be OS updates. I recommend additionally checking whether OS updates were installed immediately before the failure occurred. If there were such updates, you can try to roll back them and check your connection to the router via Wi-Fi again.

The most radical method - reinstalling the OS - should be used in the very last case, when none of the software configuration options has brought a positive result.

If these steps do not help, then you need to take the laptop to a service center; the Wi-Fi module is usually made in the form of a separate board and you can try to replace it.

Stage #5. When everything works - Don't forget to set up a password and encryption for Wi-Fi on the router.
