Why does my laptop keep disconnecting from Wi-Fi?
Frequent Wi-Fi drops can come from the router, signal conditions, Windows drivers, power-management settings or the laptop Wi-Fi card. The fastest way to narrow it down is to determine whether every device loses connection or only one computer does.
What the symptom can mean
When to stop DIY troubleshooting
If the laptop has recently suffered liquid damage or a hinge/screen repair and Wi-Fi range suddenly became very weak, internal inspection may be safer than repeated software changes.
When professional diagnosis makes sense
If the simple checks do not identify the cause, diagnosis can prevent unnecessary parts replacement. Laptop Clinic serves NDG and Greater Montréal. Describe the symptom and what happened before it started; you do not need to know the technical name of the fault.
Useful details before a diagnosis
Note the exact computer model, when the problem started, and any recent change such as an update, drop, liquid spill, new part or new charger. If the problem is intermittent, a short video or photo of the error can help. For storage-related problems, always mention whether the files are important before any reinstall, reset, initialization or formatting attempt.
