Nitro 5 AN515-54 WiFi and Ethernet Disconnects

I have a problem with my laptop where the both the WiFi and Ethernet stops working for bit. At first I thought this was with WiFi only, I looked for a solution and i tried updating the driver for it and turning off the power save feature in Device Manager, at first I thought it worked because the task bar icon stopped showing it had been disconnected however when on a website or on steam it would show it was disconnected and would only go back online once I manually disconnect it and reconnect it. I decided to get an Ethernet cable and see if that would work and it worked for a while but the same thing happened again and it shows its connected but things like steam would show i'm disconnected, I would get disconnected from online games and videos on YouTube would start to buffer. Again I tried to update the driver for the Ethernet but nothing happened. No other device has this problem with the WiFi or the Ethernet, so I would assume that its a problem with the laptop and not my router. Anyone got any solutions as this is quite frustrating.

I've tried this before but it doesn't seem to work unfortunately

Hi @Motux

Tried to uninstall the driver from device manger and reinstall the drivers from Acer website :- http://www.acer.com/worldwide/support/ select your country and enter the Serial number or Snid and download the network drivers.

I've tried reinstalling the drivers but still no change, still having the disconnect issues. I tried to install the drivers off the Acer website but they fail to install. I also tried uninstalling the driver then clicking on "scan for hardware changes" to reinstall them
