4 Windows Wi-Fi fixes that actually stop random slowdowns and drops

For weeks, my Wi-Fi felt unreliable in ways I couldn’t reconcile. My house uses an eero mesh network, coverage is strong everywhere inside my home and even out at the fringes of the property, and speed tests at the router consistently looked fine. Yet my Windows work laptop would randomly crawl. Meetings had video issues, and large downloads would slow to a halt. Walking closer to a node didn’t help. Rebooting the router didn’t fix it. Toggling Wi-Fi off and on barely made a difference. Everything seemed to be pointing to “bad Wi-Fi,” but there was no clear smoking gun.
