Wireless adapter signal drops completely and can't find any connection at all

Hirolicious · Aug 6, 2016

Hello! First time posting I tried looking for help. Excuse my bad grammar at the moment very upset with this issue and always had a bad time asking for help. I tried all the solutions I've found on Google but none helped me. I tried trouble shooting and found nothing wrong. I unchecked the box in power management that allowed the computer to turn off this device to save power. I updated my wireless adapter drivers to the latest.

The adapter I'm using is Netgear WNDA3100v2 N600 wireless dual band

does that happen on your iPhone ? cause it's a software related issue , and probably because your ios 10 beta tries to switch between 5 ghz and 2.4 ghz maybe at the wrong time , it'll be fixed when the final ios 10 comes out , or you can report it on your iPhone

Just in case you didn't do it this way, the driver should always come directly from the hardware manufacturer, not Windows. Windows Update can rarely but sometimes be the source of the wifi failure. The hardware manufacturer could be the computer OEM, the card maker or the wifi chip maker.

If your did this, then start at the basic of trouble shooting. Place the computer right next to the wifi router. Delete all connection information on the computer, log into the router, turn off the encryption and and start from the beginning.

If you can't find any connections on the wifi and you have tried all the driver update paths, pull the adapter and reseat it or move to a different connector if possible. Or even try it in another computer. You might also have to replace the adapter. They do fail from time to time.

When I clicked update driver I chose choose from drive and it came up with two options. Since then i haven't gotten a single drop in connection at all. Thanks for the help!

You need to download the driver from the hardware manufacturer first, then when you select to load from your drive, point the setup to the driver you downloaded. Otherwise you will just get the same driver that Windows downloaded.

The new driver may or may not fix the problem, but is the proper first step in trouble shooting.
