    I have 2 different wifi modems in the house. All devices are connecting perfectly from both except one laptop.

    The first wifi modem wont connect up at all to the laptop.
    the second wifi modem will connect to the laptop for about 1 minute and then lose the connection again and will take an age to reconnect.

    Any ideas on what to do? As i said all other devices work perfectly off both and this happened all of a sudden last week and hasnt resolved since? I have plugged out all wifi devices and reboothed them as well.

    Check / re-install drivers?

    Thats a good suggestion, could be a windows update updated the driver and its now having issues.

    Do you have someone more computer literate to help you ?

    The instructions on how to check will vary for different versions of windows, what version of windows do you have or is it MacOS ?
