Why does my Wi-Fi keep disconnecting?

Wi‑Fi usually keeps disconnecting because of weak signal, interference, router overload, or outdated drivers/firmware.

Quick checks:

• If only one device drops, the problem is likely that device’s Wi‑Fi card, drivers, or power settings.
• If all devices drop, focus on the router, modem, or your ISP.

Best fixes to try first:

• Restart the router and modem: unplug for 30 seconds, then plug back in.
• Move closer to the router or remove obstacles like thick walls and metal objects.
• Use 5 GHz or 6 GHz instead of 2.4 GHz if available.
• Change the Wi‑Fi channel on the router if nearby networks are crowded.

Also check:

• Update your device’s Wi‑Fi drivers and your router firmware.
• On Windows, turn off the Wi‑Fi adapter’s power-saving setting.

If the drops happen only in one room, it’s usually range or interference. If they happen everywhere, it’s more often the router or ISP.
