Since a few weeks ago, my desktop PC keeps losing wifi internet connection once or twice a day. The networking icon would suddenly say “Not connected” and any attempts to reconnect leads to a few seconds of “Checking network requirements” followed by a request for the security key. Upon entry, it would say “Verifying and connecting” followed by an endless loop of asking for the password and trying to reconnect.

The only way to get the connection back is to unplug the modem/router (combo) and plug it back in. This is fine but it’s very disruptive to all other users in the house to have the internet cut off solely to get my computer connected again and this happens twice a day. The PC also has no problems connecting to my phone’s wifi hotspot with no droppage in signal. Is there a solution to fix the signal dropping from my PC or at least a better way to reconnect to the internet without shutting it down for the entire home?

Specs:

• Windows 10
• CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-10600K CPU @ 4.10GHz 4.10 GHz
• GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070
• PSU: ADATA XPG CORE Reactor 650Watt 80 Plus Gold Certified Fully Modular Power Supply
• Wifi adapter: intel wifi 6 ax200 160 mhz

Things I’ve tried:

• Forgetting the network and readding it
• Restarting the computer when the connection drops
• Updated the network adapter driver
• Updated windows

Things I’m suspecting:

• My modem/router combo is getting old and is having connection issues (but I don’t understand why it’s consistently only my PC that’s dropping)
• My PC wifi adapter is faulty (although it still connects fine to my mobile hotspot)
• There’s a mysterious setting for the router that I’m overlooking that’s messing up my PC connection

I’m going to continue to google solutions for this but if anybody can help me out with this issue in any way, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!.
