PROBLEM:
WiFi drops me randomly and sometimes doesn't let me connect. Sometimes WiFi completely drops but most of the time it still says I'm in WiFi with internet but webpages cant load and steam says no connection.

INFORMATION:
A while back I built my PC and its been fine except for the fact that no matter what I do WiFi always continues to drop me. Its only my PC because all the other computers and phones work fine and don't disconnect. It's also not my WiFi adapter because I've tried at least 5 other WiFi adapters that all work on my brothers and dads computer, but don't work on mine. It also cant be the modem because I bought a second one and it still drops me. My modem is downstairs and the router is upstairs just across the room from me. I get full bars when not disconnected. Wiring directly to my router also does not work.

Could it be my old motherboard that I bought from my brother that is causing this? I would doubt it but its my last guess considering I've tried everything else.

Thanks!!

FIXED

I don't know why this worked but I completely uninstalled my WiFi card in my computer and just used a USB one and it stopped the dropping. I guess the one in my computer conflicted with every other one I tried. The only problem is that I only have USB 2.0 ports and USB 2.0 cant access the full power of the AC modem I have. Ugh.
