One laptop disconnects Wi-Fi on ALL devices
I have Arris TG2472 gateway with both of the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz SSID's hidden. One laptop, from work, an HP EliteBook 1030 G4 Windows 1909 will randomly disconnect from 5 GHz WiFi and it takes down a...

Actually this laptop has wireless and cellular, but no NIC and I just checked it is definitely not configured to share its connection as a Hot Spot. Luckily, I have access to that section of Settings

From what I've read, the pods can be a chock-point for networks.
It is Arris TG2472, not sure if 'Panoramic', but i'm not using any Cox WIFI pods
What is a 'chock-point'? And do not know if this gateway will work with any pods
I meant to type "choke point" and not chock.
I don't know why your 5 GHz network keeps dropping. It could be your workstation but it'd have to be doing something hogging lots of bandwidth.
I can only recommend a wired connection and since you don't have an Ethernet NIC, you could probably get a USB NIC...technically a USB to Ethernet Adapter...look for gigabit speed although you probably won't get gigabit via USB.
Oh I see, and do have an old repeater for the garage.
Well, it happened again need a way to pinpoint that. I think is this laptop, it's connected to remote desktop and corporate VPN, not sure if still drops when only on WiFi though.
I do have one USB NIC and might get a few more, but the Arris TG2472 is a little far from the laptop will need a long cable. I will have to look and see if it supports gigabit speed, but hope that is not needed.
