So guys i waked up this morning and decided to play some games on my PC and everything was perfect until the moment my mom took the laptop and connected to the internet....I lost connection on my PC the laptop the phones everywhere....So i said ok maybe that happens, i restarted my router and everything was fine again until the moment my laptop connected to he router everything lost the connection to the internet....So then i deleted the Wifi driver and downloaded a new one, same happened again....I even formatted my laptop i thought maybe that should fix the problem but still nothing.....Restarted my modem and router to the factory defaults and same again.....Everything is fine until i connect my laptop to the router.....I've searched the internet for answers but nothing so far...So please if there's anyone who could help....It will be much appreciated
 
Solution
Frequent WiFi disconnects on all devices on same network usually means the router is ready for retirement, especially if it's a bog-standard budget model like most of them.

Used to happen a lot in my household with a mid-priced Netgear router (they used to be reliable brand 10-15 years ago, not any more). After 1 year of good service I was having to restart it every day to restore WiFi function, which was frankly ridiculous.

Binned it and bought an expensive Billion router and it's 100% reliable I'm glad to say.

Don't pick a reply as best solution if you still need more advice because when you pick best solution the thread is marked as Solved and will therefore be ignored. I only came back to this thread by sheer luck today.


Only brand I recommend now is Billion (Amazon & others stock them).

Can't recommend a model 'cos it depends if you are ADSL or cable.

Mine's a Billion BiPac 7800 DXL for ADSL line. Solid as a rock.
