当无绳电话、蓝牙(Bluetooth)设备、婴儿监视器等无线设备彼此靠近时,它们都会尝试通过无线方式发送数据。将它们从其他传输设备上移开或在您不使用它们时将其关闭可以帮助改善您的连接。
重启路由器(Power Cycle Your Router)
如果您的路由器无法保持稳定的连接,请检查它是否过热并将(overheating and power)其关闭直至其冷却,或者尝试重新启动它并查看连接是否有所改善。
此外,如果您使用的是您的ISP提供的电缆调制解调器(cable modem)而不是您自己的电缆调制解调器,并且您已经使用了超过 6 个月或 1 年,那么打电话给他们并要求他们更换它不是一个坏主意。根据我的经验,这些设备通常非常便宜并且持续时间很短。
检查服务警报(Check Service Alerts)
您的断断续续的互联网连接可能是由于您的ISP的问题。检查您所在地区的服务警报,看看它是否是受影响的警报之一,然后再断定这是您的路由器或设备的问题(issue with your router or your device)。
请与您的ISP联系,看看问题是否在他们身上。他们可以运行系统和线路检查(system and line checks)以确定他们与您的计算机之间是否存在任何问题,并针对连接问题(connection problem)提出可能的修复建议。
检查其他设备(Check With Other Devices)
如果您有另一台使用相同互联网连接的(internet connection)计算机或设备(computer or device),请测试这些设备上的连接是否稳定。如果他们也有同样的问题,则可能是路由器或调制解调器(router or modem)或您的 ISP 的问题。
如果仅与您当前使用的设备有关,请检查硬件故障或操作系统问题,这是互联网连接问题的常见原因。
网卡故障(Network Card Failure)
您的计算机网卡(network card)可能难以保持稳定的互联网连接(internet connection)。您可以通过重新安装网卡(network card)驱动程序来修复它。
为此,请右键单击Start > Device Manager。单击网络适配器(Network Adapter)以展开类别,右键单击您的网卡并选择(network card and select) 卸载(Uninstall)。重新启动计算机并允许Windows重新安装卡及其驱动程序。

如果您有一个可拆卸的网卡(network card)并且知道如何重新安装它,您可以将其卸下并将其重新插入PCI 插槽(PCI slot),以确保它牢固地固定在插槽中。完成后,将所有东西放回原来的位置,插入电源线并(power cord and power)打开计算机电源。测试(Test)连接是否稳定。
损坏的 Windows 系统文件(Corrupted Windows System Files)
Internet 连接(Internet connectivity)问题可能是由损坏的Windows 操作系统(Windows operating)文件引起的。首先尝试运行系统文件检查器(system file checker),看看是否有任何问题。您还可以执行系统还原(system restore)以用干净的文件替换损坏的文件,然后再次检查您的互联网连接(internet connection)。
恶意软件或病毒感染(Malware Or Virus Infection)
断断续续的互联网连接(internet connection)也可能是由路由器(malware infection on your router)或计算机上的病毒或恶意软件感染引起的。如果它很严重,它甚至可能不起作用,但补救措施是使用可以消灭任何病毒或间谍软件(virus or spyware)的最好的防病毒软件,并稳定您的连接。
安全软件冲突(Security Software Conflicts)
您的防病毒或防火墙等安全软件程序(security software)可能会干扰您的互联网连接(firewall may interfere with your internet connection)。要解决此问题,请检查任一程序的设置并查看启用了哪些设置。尝试暂时禁用它们,看看您的互联网连接(internet connection)是否稳定。
如果是这样,请与防病毒制造商(antivirus manufacturer)核实该设置是否对您的设备保护很重要。如果不是,您可以将其禁用以改善互联网连接(internet connection)。

How To Fix An Intermittent Internet Connection In Windows 10
Few things are as frustrating as having to deal with an intеrmіttent internet connection that keeps disconnecting and reconnecting. Maybe you’re working on an urgent task, binging on your favorite program on Netflix, or playing a heated online game, only to be abruptly disconnected for whatever reason.
In this guide, we’re going to show you the usual suspects behind a bad internet connection and possible solutions that can resolve the problem.
What Causes Intermittent Internet Connections
An intermittent internet connection is often a result of several issues:
- Physical or electronic interference from devices such as cordless phones or other electronics large metal objects and electrical equipment like TVs, microwaves or home entertainment electronics.
- Wireless networks running in your area at the same frequency.
- Physical obstructions such as floors, appliances, walls, furniture and more can cause interference, especially where wireless signals pass through them.
- Corrupt Windows system files
- Problems caused by Windows updates
- Faulty network card in your computer or outdated drivers
- An overheating modem
- Issues with your Internet service provider
- Virus or malware infection
- Software conflicts

Move Closer To The WiFi Router Or Hotspot
You can do this whether you’re at home or have a portable computer at your workplace if you know where the WiFi router or hotspot is positioned.
If you are in a location where there could be many different wireless networks, it’s probably a good idea to use a WiFi scanner app and change your Wifi channel to something else.
Disconnect Devices Connected To Your WiFi
When multiple devices are using your WiFi all at once, there’s not enough bandwidth for each device, so disconnecting some of them can improve performance on your computer.
This is especially true if you have a lot of smart home devices connected like digital assistants, indoor and outdoor cameras, etc. Another option is trying to switch your device to a wired Ethernet connection rather than slower WiFi.
Move WiFi Devices Away From Other Transmitting Devices
When wireless devices such as cordless phones, Bluetooth devices, baby monitors, and others are closer to each other, they all try to send data over the air. Moving them away from other transmitting devices or turning them off when you’re not using them can help improve your connection.
Power Cycle Your Router
If your router can’t maintain a steady connection, check if it’s overheating and power it off until it cools down, or try power cycling it and see if the connection improves.
Also, if you’re using the cable modem provided by your ISP instead of your own and you’ve had it for longer than 6 months or 1 year, it’s not a bad idea to call them and ask them to replace it. Those devices are usually really cheap and last a very short time in my experience.
Check Service Alerts
Your intermittent internet connection may be due to issues with your ISP. Check the service alerts for your area and see if it’s one of those affected before concluding that it’s an issue with your router or your device.
Contact your ISP to see if the problem is on their end. They can run system and line checks to determine whether there’s any issue between them and your computer, and suggest possible fixes for the connection problem.
Check With Other Devices
If you have another computer or device that uses the same internet connection, test whether the connection is stable on those devices. If they also have the same issue, it could be a problem with the router or modem, or your ISP.
If it’s only with the device you’re currently using, check for hardware failures or operating system issues, which are common causes of internet connection problems.
Network Card Failure
Your computer’s network card may struggle keeping a steady internet connection. You can fix it by reinstalling the network card drivers.
To do this, right-click Start > Device Manager. Click Network Adapter to expand the category, right-click on your network card and select Uninstall. Restart your computer and allow Windows to reinstall the card and its drivers.
You can also check the network card manufacturer’s website for updated device drivers, download and install them to your computer. Reboot your computer and test your connection again.
If you have a removable network card and know how to go about re-seating it, you can remove it and insert it back into the PCI slot to ensure it is seated firmly in the slot. Once done, return everything back to its usual place, plug in the power cord and power on your computer. Test whether the connection is stable.
Corrupted Windows System Files
Internet connectivity issues can be caused by corrupted Windows operating system files. Try running the system file checker first to see if anything comes up. You can also perform a system restore to replace the corrupt files with clean ones and then check your internet connection again.
Malware Or Virus Infection
An intermittent internet connection could also be caused by a virus or malware infection on your router or computer. If it’s severe, it may not even work, but the remedy is to use the best antivirus available that can nuke any virus or spyware, and stabilize your connection.
Security Software Conflicts
Your security software programs like antivirus or firewall may interfere with your internet connection. To resolve this, check the settings for either program and see which ones are enabled. Try to disable them temporarily and see if your internet connection stabilizes.
If it does, check with the antivirus manufacturer if the setting is important for your device’s protection. If it’s not, you can leave it disabled for an improved internet connection.
Run Network Troubleshooter
The Network Troubleshooter helps diagnose and fix the usual internet connection issues, but you can check whether there’s an underlying cause to the bad connection you have.
- To do this, click Start > Settings > Network & Internet.
- Next, click Network troubleshooter under Change your network settings and follow the prompts to see if the problem is resolved.
Replace Your Modem Or Router
If restarting your router didn’t work, a more in-depth solution is to reset your wireless router. This is a bit more involved as you have to setup all the WiFi settings again, but could fix the issue.
If you’re still experiencing a bad internet connection after trying the suggestions above, your network card, router or modem may be defective. In this case, get a new router, modem or network card and see if the connection is better.
Hide Windows Updates Or Driver Updates
If you can’t download and install a new network adapter driver, you can hide the Windows Update that caused you to lose your network connection. In Windows:
- To do this, go to Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features and click View Installed Updates.
- Select the unwanted update you want to uninstall from the list and click Uninstall.
You can also download the Wushowhide troubleshooter to hide the problematic updates. Check whether the internet connection stabilizes after uninstalling the update. To reinstall it, go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update > Check for Updates.
Network Reset
If the steps above don’t help, reset your network as a last resort. This can solve internet connection issues especially after upgrading from a previous version of Windows to Windows 10, or when you can’t connect to shared network drives.
A network reset uninstalls and removes network adapters you may have installed, plus their settings. Once you restart your PC, the network adapters will be reinstalled, and their settings set back to default.
Note: You need Windows 10 version 1607 or later to use network reset. Check your version by going to Start > Settings > System and click About.
- To reset the network, click Start > Settings > Network & Internet.
- Click Status and then click Network Reset.
- In the Network reset screen, click Reset Now and then click Yes to confirm the action. Allow your PC to restart before checking your internet connection again.
