For the last week my laptop wifi has been disconnecting (shows "Limited" Internet). Sometimes it will reset but most of the time I need to put the laptop into "Airplane mode" and out to reset the internet connection, which immediately drops again. This is only happening on my laptop and I cannot see any other device being affected.
If I am within 10 feet or so of the router, the signal is stays connected but if I move further way it immediately drops. Also, If I go on the other side of a wall (within 10 feet of the router) it drops.
I replaced the wifi card and it does the same thing, with no improvement.
Today I took the laptop to work and it immediately connected to the wifi and has worked flawlessly this morning, with no disconnects!
I am way more than 10 feet from my router and my office router is a low end netgear which was purchased for wired connections, while my router at home is a higher end Netgear gaming router with multiple antenna.
Now I am confused because I was thinking it was the wireless antenna that were bad but with it working at the office but not at home, I have no idea what to think.
Is it a normal think for a faulty wifi router to drop one device repeatedly but not the others or am I missing something?
I appreciate any help.
