Laptop constantly drops Wi-fi

[NeedMoreAmmo]

I would check the power settings to ensure that it is not turning off wifi after a period of time. A quick google can show you where to find that for your particular OS. Typically, if not in the general power/sleep settings, it can be found as one of the settings for the wireless driver.

Changing the wifi channel on the router, as mentioned above, is also great advice, as is uninstalling vendor provided wifi "helper" programs. All you really need is the driver.

It could also be a heat related problem. Wifi cards are usually located in a part of the laptop that dosent get the best airflow. They are cheap on ebay and relatively easy to replace. If your signal strength is low perhaps the 2 or 3 connections to the card are flakey. Youtube a vid on how to check or replace the card.

At least it's not blue screening. Wifi cards love to do that when they mess up.

Merry Christmas!
