Belloni Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 I recently bought a new Acer ES51 Laptop, only Windows 10 device in the household, and i've been having terrible problems on Wifi with it. Wifi will connect but then randomly disconnect and i can't reconnect for ages, I get "Cannot connect to this network". I've updated drivers etc I know this is a long shot but is there a known issue with Windows 10 for Netduma?
Zennon Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 Go to misc settings and untick the wifi workaround Belloni.
Zennon Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 Tick it and retest. It may be a congested wifi channel. http://www.howtogeek.com/197268/how-to-find-the-best-wi-fi-channel-for-your-router-on-any-operating-system/
Belloni Posted January 22, 2016 Author Posted January 22, 2016 Yea i've changed Wifi channel also, just odd that it's the only device that doesn't play nicely with my wifi.
Akic Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 Might be worth checking for updated wi-fi drivers for your laptop
Belloni Posted January 22, 2016 Author Posted January 22, 2016 Yeah did that, installed still to no avail. Thinking maybe just get a refund and buy a different laptop :s
BENORMOUS Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 Might be worth checking for updated wi-fi drivers for your laptop Yes check for updates on you're laptop,I had to do a few updates on my new HP laptop because I was constantly getting the same issues
dionysus Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 any options to roll back to a previous windows version
Belloni Posted January 22, 2016 Author Posted January 22, 2016 No, came with Windows 10 pre-installed. New drivers havn't changed anything either :s
Akic Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 Have you tried forgetting the network in win 10 and reconnecting from scratch.
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 22, 2016 Administrators Posted January 22, 2016 Check to see if your network is classed as a public network. If it is change it to a private network to see if that helps
Belloni Posted January 25, 2016 Author Posted January 25, 2016 I'm due a new replacement laptop today will try that and the above. What does WiFi workaround actually mean/do by the way?
Zennon Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 I believe it was for highly utilized environments like an office.
Belloni Posted January 25, 2016 Author Posted January 25, 2016 Ok thanks, just got my new laptop will set it up when home and let you know Will double check if my network is private also when doing it.
