The title of this post is fairly self explanatory: For the past month or so, my laptop has consistently disconnected from my home Wi-Fi randomly with no conceivable reason and then doesn't show any available networks to reconnnect to. The only way I've been able to "fix" this issue is to perform a network reset and reset my PC immediately afterwards. I tried looking up solutions on Google but everything that was suggested hasn't fixed the issue for good.

The most common of responses involve going to the Control Panel -> Hardware & Sound -> Devices & Printers -> [[My Laptop]], clicking Properties, scrolling down to the Wi-Fi adapter, clicking Properties again, then clicking "Change Settings", going to Power Management and UNchecking: "Let the computer turn off this device to save power."

Nearly EVERY website I go to says to do this and it'll fix the issue, but it hasn't. I have no options left but to come here and desperately ask for help.

First thing I'd do is try to update the drivers for your wireless card. Do you have this problem while connected to any other networks?
When you have a disconnection, check Device Manager and see if your card appears in the list of network cards then check Windows Event Viewer for errors.
