How to test Wi-Fi connection's stability?

Solution 1:

The simplest solution is probably to just start a ping and check for packet loss.

  • Start the command prompt by pressing Win + R and typing cmd + OK
  • Start a ping by entering the command ping -t 8.8.8.8
    • (This will ping Googles DNS server until you press Ctrl + C to cancel it)
  • If you loose connection to the internet, you will get error messages.

To really make sure that it is the Wi-Fi adapter that is failing, it would be better to ping your default gateway. (Probably 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1)
