Good day all, I recently upgraded the OS on my laptop from Windows 7 to Windows 10. The WiFi connection now either doesn't connect or drops after a while.
I am using a Media Link wireless router with an Edimax extender. All the other devices that are connected to the extender are functional (windows 10 PC with a patch cord, a few Android wireless devices and an Amazon Echo dot, also wireless).
I unchecked an adapter setting which allows the PC to switch off the adapter to save power; the WiFi connection worked fine for a couple days then the problem recurred.
The adapter shows as disabled and the driver as not installed when the device is not functioning.
