Try restarting the PC

Have done so multiple times now too. It's been happening for about 24 hours now. Worse at night for some reason.

How long have you been experiencing this? Any users in the vicinity/ of the same ISP having the same problem?

>>329382
Around 24 since the first dramatic episode of drop outs. The net always used to be spotty on occasion, once or twice a week it would drop for a couple of minutes (on all devices) but within the last 24 hours it's changed.
No other devices in the house are experiencing the drops of wifi and or connection to internet through it.

I should add, periods with lots of drops (several a minute for anywhere from 5min to several hours) are accompanied with a major drop in internet speed- only experienced on this device. I checked network in performance manager and removed the chaff but the connection remained uniquely slow.

Can you do a system restore back to a point when it was better? If you can it would point to a software/driver issue.

>>329398
force you comp to use /g which is probably what all your other devices are using. your router is flaky on the /n band.

Can you elaborate on how to do this?
>>329422
I'd much prefer to do that as a last resort but I am considering trying it.

New info: While it may not explain the dropouts the issue when it's connected with no net is the default gateway. Troubleshooter reset the adaptor and it started working. Had tried to do so before b the connection would drop before a solution was found. Even writing this post had a drop (freezing chrome). The drop is accompanied by the network "identifying" Rather than being not connected.
My last tried solution was flushing the DNS with cmd but clearly nothing has come of it.
It's saying the network is "unidentified" as of writing and is frequently dropping in and out of connection, connection without internet, identifying and having now connection.
It is also switching between network access and no access.

Try scanning for viruses

Use adwcleaner and Spybot - S&D

Scanned multiple times with windef and malwarebytes will try with those if I can manage to download them.
Signs point to no, for now sadly. As I said, it's hard enough to get a post through. Thanks for the suggestion. I'll do what I can.

Got a moment of clear connection and ADW says that I am clean. Noticed there was some dodgy program uploading, through perfmon (network), and deleted it. Speeds are fixed but the drops remain. They're less frequent though. Feeling cautiously optimistic.
