Hi Rags,

I think I'm having the same issue. I bought a new laptop in July and everything was working great until last month. Since then, my wifi randomly drops off.

It shows full bars of connectivity, the troubleshooter doesn't find anything. If I manually disconnect and reconnect everything is fine. This happens at random times, sometimes 15 minutes, sometimes hours apart.

What I have tried:
- Uninstalled and reinstalled the wifi driver
- Uninstalled and reinstalled my virus protection
- Unchecked the option to allow computer to turn off device
- Made sure in power management it was max performance
- Restarted the router

All other devices in the house that are connected to the wifi have no issues.

Does anyone have any ideas?
