5. Turn off anti-virus software

Sometimes the Wi-Fi disconnection error is caused by third-party antivirus software (Ignore this problem if you only use Windows Defender available on Windows) and interfere with the computer error.

In this case, try turning off the anti-virus software to see if the error is fixed or not, we do that exclusion.

If after exiting the anti-virus software but the WiFi network is ok, it means that the cause lies in the anti-virus software, otherwise it is caused by another cause.

6. Turn off Roaming Sensitivity

Implementation: You press the Windows + R key combination to open the Run dialog box => then type ncpa.cpl => and press Enter.

Then, click on the Advanced tab => and navigate to the Roaming Sensitivity section => switch it to Disabled state => Finally click OK to finish.

Note: If your network card does not have Roaming Sensitivity, you can skip this method.

7. Disable 802.11n

802.11n is a new standard of wireless networking. So, for some old Routers (WiFi transmitters) do not support this standard and cause disconnection errors. To fix this we will disable 802.11n support on your network card.

The steps you do are the same as part 6 above. However, in the Advanced section, find the 802.11n / ac Wireless Mode section and set it to Disable => finally click OK to finish.

You should also disable U-ASPDsupport and IEEE 802.1X authentication. Try this and try restarting the computer. If the Wi-Fi disconnection still occurs, please set the parameters back to the way they were. Because the cause is not because of it!

8. Change the channel of Router, Access Point…

You can switch the Router to another channel to fix this. Each router has its own channel. If your home has many routers sharing the same channel, the possibility of errors and interference is very high.

From there, your Wi-Fi must connect to other wireless networks on the same channel.

To fix this, go to the router's configuration page to change the channel for the router. If you don't know how to do it, you can ask a network operator to help you.

9. Blocking computer connections to different networks (for those of you with command line knowledge)

First, press the Windows + X key combination => then select Windows PowerShell (Admin).

Next, enter the following command:

netsh wlan add filter permission=block ssid= %Name of your Wi-Fi network% networktype=infrastructure

%Name of your Wi-Fi% is the name of the network for which you want to block the connection. For example, if I wanted to block a Wi-Fi network named tipsmake, I would use the following command:

netsh wlan add filter permission=block ssid= tipsmake networktype=infrastructure

Finally press Enter to launch the command. You just use this command to block all networks that you are near and can connect to. From there the Wi-Fi will not be disconnected anymore.

10. Conclusion
