We have a couple of Lenovo laptops running win10 mostly used by my
sons to do school work, gaming & occasionally by
me!

Annoyingly they both regularly but intermittently drop their
connection to the house wifi, then reconnect. Then "some time"
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?


Do they both drop out and reconnect at the same time?
Any other devices that connect e.g. phone or tablet?
Any sources of interference e.g. heating contols, utility usage meters?




I don't believe they do it at the same time but I'll try to find out.
Lots of other things connected & staying connected...
No other sources of interference that I can think of..

We have an aging Wii that (looking in the router logs) does a
similar thing....
