So my laptop wireless seems to be so screwed up. It gets worse and worse everyday.

Basically my laptop drops wifi by saying "Internet limited". it happens every where so I know nothing is wrong with my wifi. It also works 100% when wired.

Does any one know how to fix this? I've tried a lot of methods online but it only fixes it for an hour or so. Is there some sort of wireless adapter I can get if the wireless is just pure crap on this laptop.

Appreciate any help as this is becoming a huge problem

I haven't downloaded any extra drivers. I have experienced the problem since I downloaded Windows 8.1, I have since upgraded to W10 and done all driver updates

What kind of laptop is it? Have you ran the troubleshooting and scanned for issues? Have you tried repairing the device? Have you removed/uninstalled the device from device manager? Has this always been an issue or is it recent? How old is the laptop?

This could mean that depending on how old the laptop is, whether or not drivers are supported for it. What is the wireless card? Meaning the model number.

It's a Lenovo G580 i3, I have ran the trouble shooting and it says no issues then automatically reconnects and tells me to look online for problems.

I'm not sure how to repair it or what the issue even is, it's been an issue since 8.1 release, around 2 years old.

The lenovo website does not have any driver downloads for windows 10. Can you open the device manager and go to network adapters and find the model number of the wireless adapter for me?
