    Win10 continuously losing internet

    When the Wifi adapter loses connection, I can no longer see any network in range. The only way it will see and connect to my wifi is to reset the adapter and it will see all available networks again. I am still using the USB dongle since my last post without issue.

    Win10 continuously losing internet

    My modem is an XB6-T for Comcast (xfinity) ISP. It has a built-in wireless router. I have rebooted the modem several times. This is a laptop, so I am not sure if opening and reseating is possible. Would the card be built-in to the motherboard with my model?
