Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe My old Windows laptop has a strange issue. When it stays connected to Wi-Fi for a long time, it suddenly stops working, even though it still shows as "Connected" in the toolbar. After talking about the problem on the Windows online portal, I found out that this happens because of the Wi-Fi card in older laptops. The usual fix is to manually turn off and then back on the Wi-Fi network to get it working again. Dealing with this problem has been really annoying.

Describe the solution you'd like To solve the issue, I made a Python script that regularly checks if there's any loss of data when sending information to "google.com." If all the data is lost (100% packet loss), the laptop's WiFi will automatically switch off and then back on by itself, without needing anyone to do it manually. This script works like a MONITORING tool that keeps an eye on the WiFi connection.
