    Hey!

    The internet on one of the laptops in my household is keep disconnecting. Some days there are no problems, but other days the WifI bar has a yellow triangle on it. It's really annoying.

    I updated all the drivers [recommended by some research online], and checked if there's something wrong with the actual internet provider. Even if I disconnect other devices from the internet, the problem still persists. Nothing wrong with the smartphones or other laptops, just this one.

    Any advice?

    The some days no problems, some days not would suggest to me it might well be the antenna cable. Most laptops this runs up the hinge and can fray from use. If theres a bad connection you might get intermittent connections from the screen being moved, then the chip will have a hard time keeping the connection up. Play with it test.

    I've found no way to alter the antenna. Is there anything I could? [besides taking the laptop apart..]
