It was already set to what you have suggested.

OK, beyond that, might be worth stopping the adapter being power managed - open adapters, then properties of the wifi adapter, Configure button, then Power mgmt. tab.

Didn't AA imply in other posts that when he had the fault the lappy could see other networks and actually connect to a BT open network, but still couldn't connect to his router. Also a reset of his router cured the problem.

So, to me, that implied a problem with his router, not the lappytop

Just happened again, no wifi on laptop, switched off router, waited 30 secs, restarted it.

No Wi-Fi on laptop

Rebooted laptop, WiFi back.

Phones and tablets were still connected.

Instead of rebooting lappy next time,  try left button clicking on wifi symbol on the taskbar (bottom right) and click on your connection, then select disconnect and click on reconnect....may do the trick

If the Windows 10 (and Win8, but less common issue) can see the network, but when attempting to connect, comes back with something like "couldn't meet the requirements", this is usually a driver issue, and often around the hw/driver's power management not being compatible with W8/W10 - often a case for W7/Vista era laptops.

Generally the OEM for wifi card, eg Intel/Ralink/Asos etc simply state they will not support W10, and without an OEM reference driver to rebrand, all bets are then off.

Always the first point of call, but doesn't work.

No, as the chipset will be soldered into the system board.

Have you checked to see if there is a bois update for your lappy? that might help, if there is

They are not always integrated on to the motherboard.  Sometimes they are separate and attached via ribbon cable.  Worth checking.

I did find out a few weeks after upgrading to Win10 that my laptop didn't support Win10

But, as it was running OK I didn't bother to re-install Win7.

It's been running OK since the release of Win10 until about a couple of weeks ago, when the WiFi started playing up.

I think, but I'm not 100% certain, it has got a network card, but I can't find any info about upgrading it.

It's a Toshiba Satellite C660.

You can always disable it in the bios and use a tiny USB one that is Win10 compatible
