ASUS laptop dropping wifi

JohnnyRelentless · Aug 17, 2016

My ASUS X553M laptop worked fine for a year, but a few days ago it started dropping the wifi. It does this on my home wifi as well as at my school. When it happens, it no longer sees the router it was just connected to although it does still see other routers in range. Rebooting the computer fixes the problem temporarily. Drivers are up to date. This started happening shortly after the last Win 10 update. I'm using Win 10 Home version 1607, Intel Pentium N3540 @ 2.16 GHz, 4GB RAM. Thank you.

When WiFi won't connect.

First, make sure your laptop is 'not' connected to the modem/router via an Ethernet cable and follow the steps:

1. Go to "Control Panel".

2. Next go to "Network and Internet" and then "Network and Sharing".

3. Now click on "Manage Wireless Networks".

4. On this screen, remove all wireless connections by "right clicking" on it and select "Remove network" from the drop down menu.

5. After doing this, close the windows and scan for the "Wi-Fi networks".

6. Click on the available network that you want to access and select "connect".

7. It takes a moment, but then you will be asked to give a password for your Wi-Fi connection. Type in the password and click the "connect" button.

It should now stay connected.

If this doesn't resolve the issue, it may be a windows 10 problem and not a WiFi one.
