WiFi Connection drops regularly

thejamesarnold · Mar 25, 2022

When I ping 8.8.8.8 or any other website, I am getting this result:

I have this issue since Windows 10 and I upgraded to Windows 11 hoping this issue would disappear but it's still there. I do not have this issue in Android or Mac connecting the same WiFi router. My device is Lenovo Ideapad Gaming 3 15ARH05 AMD Ryzen 5 4600H with Radeon Graphics 16.0GB.

I have tried using the administrator command prompt and executing this command:

Code:

netsh wlan set autoconfig enabled=no interface="Wi-Fi"

(command to stop Windows from searching WiFi connections) but the issue is still there.

Besides pinging, what troubleshooting steps have you done (ex. update/reinstall driver, etc) so far?

I only started pinging because I was getting kicked out of my online game FallGuys. I did not even notice I had this problem until I started playing this game (I assume I had this problem way before). Regular usage like opening websites and video streaming doesn't affect at all. I tried updating my WiFi driver but there isn't any. I also tried upgrading to Windows 11 but the issue is still the same.

Getting kicked out of the game has nothing to do with wifi. And if it is only that particular game that is giving you a problem, then it is definitely not a wifi issue. Your firewall is probably blocking the game.

Or in the case of Fall Guys specifically, their servers could be crapping out again... it's pretty common.

I was pinging 8.8.8.8 not the FallGuys server.

I know that, but it's a common thing... I'm not sure why the ping is timing out... and I didn't count them, but it seemed like kind of a regular interval.

If you are only complaining about that particular game and nothing else when it comes to wifi problem, maybe it's time to look for another game and see if you have the same problem. You need to find out if it is the same problem for any game. If you ask me, your wifi is not to blame.

I don't think the game is the problem. As you can see in the screenshot of ping. I was not playing the game when the WiFi connection is dropping.

No it's not a common thing. I tried pinging in my Mac and Android using the same WiFi connection but with no issue.
