PC Disconnecting - All other devices good.

[Dis86]

As per title.

Windows 10 Home.
Wireless connection via PCE-AC88 AC3100 with latest ASUS drivers.

Shows full signal in windows then BAM, gone. All other devices are OK. Typically happens 30-60 seconds after login and now is happening intermittently.

Tried multiple wifi cards and all have the same issue.

Not the router is it? Can you maintain a connection to a hotspot on your phone or another router?

Nope. Drops them.

Have you tried forgetting the network and re entering the password. Does the Internet connection work when it connects in command prompt do ipconfig and ping Google.com

Yup, tried that. It's literally had a full reinstall. Connection is brilliant when it's connected. It's just this complete drop that has me mystified.

any power saving options on the card / pc that could be putting it to sleep?

That was my immediate thought but when going through the properties I can't find a power-saving option.

what frequency are you using for your PC? 2.4 or 5ghz? Does that differ from your other devices?

Hello, we have something here! PC is 5, everything else 2.4.

possible interference at 5ghz? What 5ghz channel are you using? One thing of note is that 'DFS' channels are shared with radar and satellite services. Your router/device might be periodically disconnecting to check that its not interfering with these services. If so try one of the lower numbers 32-48 and see if it goes away.

Was channel 48. I changed it to automatic and it selected 48 again however since then its been stable! It might be adjusting on the fly though.
