  • does it drop off when your not using it? perhaps its going to sleep mode and disabling the wifi to save energy.

    If so,
    -go to run and type 'powercfg.cpl'.
    -make change to selected plan
    -change advance power settings
    -open wireless adapter settings
    -set to max performance.
