Hi everybody,

I have upgraded to windows 10 but since then there is a problem with the internet. Sometimes it works while sometimes it doesn't.

Sometimes it shows that NO CONNECTIONS ARE AVAILABLE and when I troubleshoot, it says that there might be a problem with the driver. My wireless adapter is intel® centrino® wireless-n 2230 and I am unable to find its driver for windows 10. Kindly help.

Thanks for the answer.

My laptop is Dell inspiron-15R- 5530 and dell does not support this device for windows 10. However I have fixed the issue myself by changing the Driver power management settings. I have disabled the feature which permits the computer to turn off the device to save power. This fixed half of the problem. Then I changed my Power Plan Settings from Power Saver to High performance and since then my internet is working fine. So it is possible be that in Windows 10 there might be a problem with the Power Management which Microsoft has not fixed yet.

Once again thanks for your help.
