A few days ago my internet dropped on my laptop it took about 15 minutes to reconnect.
Since then it's been happening more and more frequently. It might go hours without disconnecting and then suddenly it will disconnect and will stick on identifying network.
Sometimes it will take up to 20 minutes to reconnect others it will reconnect but for only a minute then repeat the process, over and over. I can't get a stable connection.

Another laptop in the house can connect so I don't think it's the router. I've tried another network and it had te same problem

I've updated my adapters drivers, uninstalled and reinstalled. It's an Atheros AR9002WB-1NG. I have no idea what else to do. Please help. Windows 7
