Hi there. The WiFi on my PC keeps cutting out randomly and I’ve no idea why. It’s only the PC that this happens on my other devices are fine. I got a second monitor today. I wouldn’t imagine that would affect it but I’m not sure. I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling my adapters and still having the same issue. Any guidance much appreciated.
 
Hmm turns out when I only use one monitor it is fine. Very strange. Too many peripherals in my PC?
 
I think it’s the display port cable that’s making me disconnect from the internet now. When I use the hdmi cable it is fine but the display port one makes me lag out.
 
if you have verified it is the cable at fault, try getting a better quality one, even a shielded one if they exist.
or as a quick hack, try running that cable as far away from the wifi as possible - or even wrapping it in aluminium foil.
 
Ive used a different cable and it seems to be working fine now. Who would’ve thought a dodgy display port cable would make my internet disconnect?! Very weird and doesn’t make much sense. Thank you for the reply.
