I am having significant problems with my pc's connection to the wifi and i feel like ive tried everything. Its happening out of nowhere starting about a week ago. In that time, i got a new pc and it is still happening. I also got a network adapter and while it makes it does make it better, it does not stop it from being overkill. Sometimes it will work perfectly fine for hours and other times, it will disconnect from the wifi for 5 to 10 minutes with no sign of reconnecting. As of typing this, it is rather tame but I have no clue what to do anymore, im pulling my hair our because of it, please help.

    Thank you for the detailed information. May I ask if this also happens in your smartphone?

    Also, please disable killer WIFI smart features.

    Device Manager - Network adapters - Killer Wi-Fi -Properties

    Power: Uncheck Allow computer to turn off this device

    Advanced:

    Killer Prioritization Engine - Disabled

    Roaming Aggressiveness - Lowest

    Preferred Band - Prefer 5 GHz

    Transmit Power - Highest

    Then, please restart.

    If issues still persist, please Uninstall Killer Control Center.

    Settings - Apps - Installed apps

    Uninstall Killer Control Center / Killer Performance Suite

    Reboot.

    If you're also having issues on your phone, it's possible that it's a modem/ISP issue.

    Please let me know how it goes.
