I just bought the Powerspec G706 a few days ago and every time I turn it on, it cannot connect to Wifi. 
The first time this happened, I reset TCP/IP with the Netshell Command and restarted the PC. This worked. I have continued trying this method when the problem happened again and it did not work. 
The second time this happened, I put my computer on sleep, took a 1 hour nap, came back and Wifi was working. 
I have tried
  • Checking if other devices can connect (they can)
  • Restarting the router
  • Restarting the PC
  • Running Windows Network Diagnostics
  • Reinstalling the Wifi antennas
  • Disabling firewall
  • Making sure Chrome is not blocked by the firewall
I do not have antivirus installed. Sometimes the network I want to connect to says "Connected, secured" and other times it says "No Internet, secured". I tried using my laptop as a mobile hotspot over a 5Ghz network band, but the PC can't connect. Any help is greatly appreciated.
