Fix

router. For this, connect a device like a smartphone to WiFi and
check if it works. In case all the devices have the same
disconnection issue after connecting to WiFi, then chances are it is

internet is working fine on other devices, the issue is with your
computer and its WiFi adapter.

your router are functioning well. Generally, the DSL and power lights
should be visible. In case you see flickering lights, contact your
Internet Service Provider (ISP).
