Wifi constantly drops in Windows 11
Apologies in advance of this question has been asked but I've been experiencing an issue for the past 2-3 weeks that has been driving me nuts. My wifi connection seems to constantly drop throughout the day while using my Windows 11 laptop. I've tried 1) restarting 2) restarting the router 3) uninstalling/reinstalling the latest Wi-Fi driver recommended by my manufacturer 4) Uninstalling reinstalling the latest Intel wifi driver recommended 5) Network reset and it still consistently happens. All my other devices stay connected. I've noticed that it tends to particular happen after I upload large files to Dropbox or Google Drive. Other odd happenings include being able to maintain a video call yet if I try to access a website there is no connection all the while the video call maintains.
I'm tempted to take this to the Best Buy geek squad but I'm worried they either won't put that much effort into and/or will just tell me to do a complete Windows reinstall which I don't feel will help. Because the connection comes and goes, I tend to not think it's a hardware issue but let me know if you have any thoughts.
