    I've been having trouble with my PC WiFi dropping connection intermittently, but this does not affect any other devices on the network. I am fairly sure this is a software issue as I don't have any issues connecting to the router most of the time and I get full signal at all times.

    My networking skills are pretty limited, google is either my saviour or offline content atm.

    I am using a Realtek RTL8192CE PCI-E card connected to a BT home hub 6, my pc is running Windows 10 fully up to date.

    This is driving me nuts since I recently had my powerline adapter fail, so WiFi is my backup until I can replace that. I'm sure more information is necessary just need to know what it is.

    Could be an issue with your NIC, if drivers are up to date have you tried disabling your wireless cards 'power saving mode' on the win10 machine?

    Is your wlan interface utilizing iPv6 or 4, and what freq 2.4 or 5GHz......are channels set to auto or have you set static channel?

    It looks like both I guess.

    My router says 2.4Ghz, I have looked around & it seems that my WiFi adapter doesn't support 5Ghz. It also says "The Smart Hub is currently not enabled for IPv6 addressing".
