1400455 2015-05-11 06:13:00 The indicator for the wifi says it's off line and we can't do nothing on line.
Takes about 5-15 seconds and reconnects.
The line its self is not dropping, just the wifi signal.
I have two wifi usb adapters, that windows loaded drivers for.
Signal normal says between 26 and 75 Mb's.
Sorry not sure what you mean by, "Disconnect via Windows & do a scan of wifi access points to see signal strength".

1400456 2015-05-11 06:18:00 Whatever the brand/model of the adapter is go to the maker's site. And download their drivers. I had a similar prob here. Windows installed its drivers but I couldn't connect to the 5 ghz connection...It didn't appear in Windows. After I installed the drivers from the site, the connection appeared. So I could connect to it Speedy Gonzales (78)
1400457 2015-05-11 06:54:00 Had a couple over the last few weeks doing similar, the fix for them was simple, go into the Device manager, locate the Wireless adapter, uninstall it ( leave the drivers when prompted) then reboot, on reboot, takes a minute or so, but the wireless re-installs, problem fixed no more disconnection.

These were the laptops both using the inbuilt wireless. :2cents:
