My notebook (running Windows 10) is picking up very low signal from home network. It usually connects for a few seconds, then breaks. It works just fine on another notebook (running Windows 7), an Android smartphone and iPhone.
I can easily connect it to a hot-spot from my cell phone (when sharing its mobile data) and it runs smooth on WiFi at my partner's parents' home. Today I tried to connect to a public network in a library, to no avail.
Is it possible that my network adapter has reception problems? I thought that it might be the router at home that's configured wrong, but in such case, why do other devices have no problem with connecting to it?
I followed countless "solutions" on the web:
- unticked "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" for my wireless network adapter,
- updated the driver to the newest stable and compatible version,
- "forgot" all known networks, and connected to them again,
- verified some Windows 10 services,
- verified some registry keys.
Nothing works. The computer is brand new, came with Windows 10 Enterprise (64-bit). I have access to router's settings, but I can't tinker with them as it's a network shared between a few apartments.
Let me know if you need further information.
