We have a couple of Lenovo laptops running win10 mostly used by my

Annoyingly they both regularly but intermittently drop their

later they do it again, sometines it's minutes sometimes it's
hours, so I'm pretty sure it's not the router lease expiring &
renewing

The house WiFi is a Plusnet hub one with both 2.4 & 5ghz WiFi
networks (different SSIDs), I wondered if they were chopping &
changing networks bit I told one m/c to forget the 5ghz network,
& it still drops the 2.4ghz connection... Grrrr...

any pointers where to start?

Check the wifi clutter. Try inssider

to see if your channel is being swamped by other signals


WiFi analyser reports just our WiFi networks...

You're lucky!
In addition to ours, there are one TalkTalk, one Plusnet and Virgins
