Laptop losing connection

Hi, i wonder if someone could offer me some help please. I have a Dell Inspiron 15R N5110 and B.T infinity 2 had both for about 18 months now with no problems whatsoever, but for the last week i keep losing my wireless connection, i either have to reset the hub or the laptop to get it going again.

    Look at the graph and see if there are a lot of other routers on the same channel as yours , find a channel with less (no would be best)others and change your router to use that channel (eg on their image below I would choose 8) and definitely avoid 1,6 and 11
