Not a Question. Figured out an issue I had when connected to wireless.

So I spent 3 days trying to figure this issue out and I thought I would throw it out there in case somebody else ends up with the same issue.

I was unable to connect to Steam, Origin, Uplay, One Drive, etc...  I could when connected via Ethernet but not over WiFi.

I tried changing DNS, resetting network settings, uninstalling AV, disabling firewall, and finally wiping my machine to no avail.

Finally, I updated my wifi card and boom, everything starts working.

I've you're having the same issue, try updating your drivers first.

    yes I updated my driver and most of my unstable connection is solved. also don't forget to update you nvidia/amd gpu as well as your internal graphics driver as well.
    Tips 1: For gaming laptop make sure before you shut down especially after a heavy gaming session to let it cool down for at least 10min before you switch it off!

    Good evening BigMikeTX82 !

    The issue is some internal controllers depending on the chipset version share information.
    So even though wireless and ethernet are in different physical locations, the internal controllers "talk to each other".
    In addition, it was a good sharing of information.

    I stay pretty on top of GPU updates.  I check weekly.

    Thanks for sharing that.  I was unaware.
