Wireless network adapter is unable to hold a signal
A couple days ago, I began having serious issues with my network adapter. It is unable to maintain a signal to the internet. When I say "maintain" I mean that it cuts in and out a lot. What it will do is, it will lose a internet signal, meaning, it is connected to the router but says "No internet access" and then it will do 1 of 2 things at that point, it will either completely disconnect to the router and will be "unable to connect" to it again, or it will gain internet access again for a few seconds and repeat the whole process. I can confirm that this is the computer having the connectivity issue and not the router because I can use other computers/devices and connect to the internet just fine. I have tried to resolve this issue on my own and researched it online on another device and I came up with no working solutions on my issue.
What I have tried:
-Resetting the Winsock
-Preforming system maintenance
-Attempting to do a disk check
-Using the Troubleshooter
-Updating the network drivers
-Doing a hardware test during boot up
-Disabling driver shutdown to conserve energy
A few things to note:
-Device Manager detects NO ISSUES with the driver(s)
-The troubleshooter says "a wire may be loose or broken"
-I don't have any windows discs
-Anti-Malware bytes doesn't detect anything excluding some registry errors (full scan)
-Microsoft Security Essentials doesn't detect anything wrong
-When I try to connect to the wifi settings page that you should be able to access even without internet access, it fails to connect.
-Adapter is able to find networks in range
If you need additional information, check my specs. I put most of em down when I signed up.
So does anyone have any solutions? Help would be MUCH appreciated.
