If you are facing internet connectivity issues like dropped connections, slow speeds, or inability to connect to Wi-Fi, resetting your network adapter can help. This process restores your networking components to their default factory settings, which can resolve software glitches or incorrect configurations caused by VPNs or system changes.
To perform a network reset in Windows 11, open the Start menu and select Settings, or press the Windows + I keys. Navigate to the Network & Internet section in the sidebar and look for the advanced network settings to find the network reset option. Following these steps will remove all existing network configurations and require you to reconnect to your Wi-Fi networks afterward, as saved credentials will be lost.
If a full reset is not required, you can try disabling and re-enabling the adapter through the Device Manager. If the problem persists, you may need to uninstall and then reinstall the driver. Please note that performing a network reset requires administrative access to your computer to complete successfully.
