When I use my laptop to surf the internet, view YouTube videos, and give tests, etc. My wifi disconnects from the linked network after a short amount of time and then reconnects.
Is this a good question?
Changed Power Settings
Windows was turning off my Wi-Fi adapter to save power.
I opened Device Manager (Win + X → Device Manager)
Expanded Network adapters → right-clicked my Wi-Fi adapter → Properties
Under Power Management, I unchecked “Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power.”
2. Updated Wi-Fi Driver
My driver was outdated. I went to the HP Support website, entered my model number (HP 15s-eq0000), and installed the latest Wi-Fi driver.
3. Router Settings
Sometimes the router channel causes interference. I logged into my router and set the Wi-Fi channel manually to 1, 6, or 11 (instead of Auto).
4. Checked Router / Network
I tested with another device. If it also disconnected, I restarted the router or reset network settings.
5. Network Reset in Windows
As a last step, I did: Win + I → Network & Internet → Advanced network settings → Network reset. Then I restarted the laptop and reconnected.
