    Wifi disconnects every few minutes but works fine on other devices


    I've had this issue for a few months now on my Lenovo idea pad gaming 3, I'm using Windows 11 and the network card is mediatek wifi 6 mt7921 wireless LAN cardThe issue is as following: my laptop keeps either disconnecting from wi-fi every few minutes first it was 5, then 10 minute intervals, longest it went on for uninterrupted was an hour or stays connected but the internet itself doesn't work. The issue persists only when connected to the wi-fi I have at home, as I had no issues with it at uni or work. In order to have it run again I have to keep connecting it to the wi-fi every 10 minutes

    :)

    my son laptiop wifi disconnect after 5 minutes

    • If you have an identical laptop try comparing the wifi and security settings of the one that does not disconnect with the one that does. If you find any differences change the settings of the one that does not work to the one that does.
    @Samuria : If you have any suggestions please reply.

    Wifi disconnects every 5 minutes.

    I am having issues with my computer, I'm on windows 10. My wifi disconnect every 5-ish minutes, when I reconnect the wifi adapter, it works for 5 minutes and disconnects again. Works on all other devices, I tried to update/install network drivers, but I
    can't figure out how.

    Bridging wifi and ethernet connections – wifi keeps disconnecting

    Hi all,

    I am trying to use Windows to bridge my wifi connection to non wifi devices. I have successfully setup the bridge in Network Connections. However, the wifi only stays connected for a few seconds before it disconnects (everything is working as expected, with wired devices having internet access, until wifi disconnects). This seems to be something to do with the ethernet cable being connected, as when I disconnect the ethernet the wifi stays connected.

    Things I have tried:

    • Turning off power management and checking bios for any funky power management settings
    • Setting "Priority & VLAN" to disabled
    • Disabling "Automatic metic" and setting wifi to priority order – though you don't seem to be able to change this for specific connections when bridged.

    Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

    P.S. everything works fine with bridge disabled and using internet connection sharing enabled on the wifi. However I am unable to connect to devices such as printers (hence why I am trying bridged mode).
