So I'll see if you can supply that and as some adapters do fail like that I carry some USB WiFi dongles in my rescue kit. All of them were under 10 bucks and cheaper than a new WiFi card.
My network adapter randomly decided to work only 25% of the time just about a week ago.
It drops the wireless signal and disables the network adapter. I have already gone in and configured the adapter and changed the setting that allows it to become disabled when the battery is low or randomly.
I made sure its always enabled....except it still disables itself, regardless. Once it disables itself, the drives disappear (shown in the device manager). Then, it randomly decides to turn back on. It might take an hour...or a day before it decides to just work again.
I have uninstalled drivers and reinstalled them and I have reset my computer. When I reset my computer, the network adapter worked for a while. If I boot it in safe mode and then go back to normal, sometimes this works..but not always.
I have no idea why it's not working correctly. Any suggestions?
