Okay, so I have a windows 7 laptop with a Comcast Modem, this was happening with my last modem too so it has to be something with my computer - the last modem was Century Link. Whenever I'm on it for x minutes playing a game or even being on the web, my computer decides to disconnect me from my home wifi, and when I go to reconnect in the little bar button on my right side of my bottom bar (don't know what it's actually called), the same wifi source that I use for my home has dissapeared from the connectable sources, yet I could connect to any other wifi source i'm in range of. I've tried looking at other people's problems that are similar, but again, nothing seems to help that they've said.

Note: this computer is probably four to five years old and my wifi is brand new and the wifi source is listed as 'Home' in settings. Also, all my other devices do not have this problem, and the disconnection is more frequent with games, but still happens in general.
