I have Lenovo Windows 10 laptop. Two weeks ago I started having problems with my Wi-Fi connection – the signal quality on my laptop is very low. It's ok when it's connected to my home Wi-Fi network and close to router, but if I move the laptop just 1 meter from the router, the signal gets so weak I cannot open any sites. Also, before I was able to see the whole list of available networks and now I can see only my own (sometimes other appear, but only for a short while). It’s same when I take the laptop somewhere else. At work it barely connects to WI-FI. My phone (and everyone else’s ) can connect to the Wi-Fi at home and work.
Something happened but I don’t know what. Three days ago I updated Windows (update 2004) hoping it would solve it, but it worked normally for only about 10 minutes.
So far I have:
The connection is so slow. Does anyone have any idea what could be wrong?

Something happened but I don’t know what. Three days ago I updated Windows (update 2004) hoping it would solve it, but it worked normally for only about 10 minutes.
So far I have:
- Ran the troubleshooter – it cannot find anything wrong
- Ran Lenovo hardware scan – says everything is fine
- Disabled and enabled the device – doesn’t work
- Re-installed and updated the driver – doesn’t work/there is no update for the driver
- Changed power plan settings to maximum performance - doesn’t work
- Tried „ipconfig /release”, and “ipconfig /renew” in Command prompt. It says “no operation can be performed on Wireless Network Connection 2 while it has its media disconnected” and directly under that is says “no operation can be performed on Local Area Connection while it has its media disconnected”.
- Tried netsh winsock reset, netsh winsock reset catalog, netsh int ip reset reset.log and similar in Command prompt. – doesn't work.
The connection is so slow. Does anyone have any idea what could be wrong?
