Bitdefender Total Security

Hello,

 

We have Netgear Armor on our home Wifi.  I have downloaded the BitDefender Total Security for my windows 10 laptop.  I noticed after installing that I would lose WiFi connection periodically.  I search BitDefender website for a solution and found how to add a rule exception for the firewall.  This has not worked.  When I run a trouble shoot for my WiFi network it says the gateway can not be found and was reset.

 

I continue to lose connection from time to time.  Sometimes its multiple times within a 10 minute time frame, and sometimes its not at all for a whole evening.

 

When I turn off the BitDefender firewall, I do not run into this issue.  I have decided to uninstall BitDefender and use Windows 10 Security until I can find a way to fix this issue.

 

Has anyone else ran into this issue?
