So after months of desperately searching online for a solution to this problem I've been having, someone recommended that I use the Windows Event Viewer to get a better idea on what the exact problem would be. As you can no doubt tell by the title of this post, what I found is the following:

"Intel (R) Wi-Fi 6 AX201 160MHz has determined that the network adapter is not functioning properly"

So now that I know why my internet keeps randomly dying all the time, I need to know the solution to this problem. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the network drivers but that didn't fix the problem, I fear it may just be that my Wi-Fi adapter in my laptop is just bricked and I need to get it repaired.

Any help on this would be tremendously appreciated because Im at my wits end here...

Does it completely die or just slow down?

Many little WiFi cards in laptops are user-replaceable. Used but working ones are often less than $10 on eBay. New ones usually start at $20 and up. Or you can get a new USB-to-WiFi adapter starting at $7, including shipping.

It spazzes out before completely dying, and i end up having to do a network reset which forces me to turn off and back on my PC again.

As Doc said, get a USB one.
