Asked § years, 10 months ago Active 10 months ago Viewed 174k times Suppose, when you leave your computer running while it's connected to internet and after a while if your WiFi modem freezes in the middle, then there would be a “Limited or No Network 18 connectivity" message indicated by a yellow warning sign on the "Internet access” icon in system tray. iC Des) Could you get a timestamp for when this actually occurred in Event Viewer or in some other way?

Thank youl! - Matthew Sep 11 ‘19 at 0:11 the event log is delayed for about 1-2 mins than the actual event. this means shorter intermittent failures did not show up in this log (this is in my case). however for longer down time (> 2 mins), this is really good! = ihightower Apr 14'20 at 17:59 how the logs are collected? ifthe laptop is not running, surely itis not going to collect data, when itis running, can we assume that events are logged when status change, and if there is no data when the laptop is running, itis assumed to be good? Just looking at the “is internet available: false" might be selection bias. ie. your total number of "is internet availabe: false" doesn't not necessarily mean you have a unstable network, maybe because you just happen to use the network more, - BMW.

Open the Windows Event viewer (eventvwr.msc) and then within the View Menu enable the Show Analytic and Debug Logs options. 2. Navigate to the WLAN-autoconfig event log. Since we enabled the Analytic and Debug logs option, beside the Operational log we also see the Diagnostic log. 3. The Diagnostic event log by default is not enabled, so first we have to enable it by right- clicking -> select Properties. 4. As soon as the Diagnostics mode is enabled you should see events coming in. To enforce things a bit simply disable and enable your wireless connection using your vendor's wireless connection software or by pressing the hardware button on your laptop. You can see when the WiFi signal is lost.
