I've been suffering from intermittent internet connection on my PC for the past few days. I tried resetting my pc's internet and resetting my pc to an earlier back up. However, none of them worked. Every hour or so, the pc will be disconnected from the wifi. Furthermore, there are multiple wifi with the same name as my wifi followed by 2, 3, and 4 showing up only on my PC. I have also ruled on the possibility of the modem and router malfunctioning.

    Greetings,

    My name is Rhaine, I'm Independent Community Volunteer. I’m so glad assisting you today

    I am also using Windows 10 pc. Let us work together to sort this out.

    Please try the following steps below..

    First , try the reset the router you are using.

    Right click on the network connection icon, and hit "troubleshot problems"

    Once done reset your network

    In the search box on the taskbar (click Start), type command prompt, right-click the command prompt result and then select Run as administrator and confirm.

    At the command prompt (decline restarting your machine until you have entered the final command):

    Copy and paste each command and hit enter.

    ipconfig /release

    ipconfig /flushdns

    ipconfig /renew

    netsh int ip reset

    netsh winsock reset

    Now restart your machine using Start > Power > Restart once more and test to see if the issue is resolved.

    I hope the information above helps. Please let me know how it goes.

    Have a wonderful day ahead and stay safe.

    With Warm Regards,
