Though, again, non-overheating-related issues seem to be far more common an issue in laptop wireless adapters. As I said, if neither is working, plugging into a router directly may be the best option- or, if mobile gaming is necessary, then starting to save for a replacement laptop.

Overheating can be an issue with USB adapters, but with integrated adapters, in my experience the issue is primarily based in high-heat-generating components being located near the adapter due to poor component placement, and a lack of suitable airflow causing that to affect the adapter. And again, regardless of cause, solving it may entail the same approach. Īgain, overheating ought be quite easily detectable, while more general issues are something that tends to be pretty common with mobile wireless adapters. Of course, if you're playing CS:GO in a coffee shop, I think trying a different adapter is going to be the necessary call. I was indicating I wasn't aware of the latter existing, and that the first should be pretty easy to determine if it is occurring (though, theoretically, so should the latter).Įither way, if it's flawed or failing, or if it's overheating (which presumably'd more likely be occurring due to undissipated heat from surrounding components anyway), adding a USB-connected adapter could theoretically resolve the issue either way.ĭirectly plugging into a router may also be a good option, if you're planning an intensive gaming session. There's a difference between overheating to the point of failing and overheating and having an intentional shutdown occur of the device due to the overheating. Is the laptop just generally broken? It's definitely something wrong with the laptop as my I am the only one having this problem.Īny and all comments/suggestions are welcome. Is this a case of some sort of power supply issue causing the laptop to turn off Wifi to gain power to run the game? I don't play games that are graphics heavy (Awesomenauts, The Binding of Isaac ect.) so I'm not sure if this is the problem.

I have tried multiple times to look up a solution to this problem but I really can't find anything. You can see here the wifi connections that I have avaiable to me and one that I am connected to, but then you can see here that after about 20-30 minutes of gaming the internet turns off and shows no Wifi avaiable. At the moment I am having the issue (which has been going on a few years) whereby my laptop ( Lenvo Ideapad U450 Yes I am fully aware that this laptop really isn't suitable for gaming but it's all I got) is randomly turning off my internet and showing no other Wifi connections around my area.
