Ok so this has just happened recently. (Started 2 days ago) And I've tried finding solutions, but nothing seems to work.

Ok so the problem is that my wifi keeps disconnecting, eh i'd say every 20 minutes average, BUT the weird thing is, it doesn't fully disconnect. It says "Limited" with full bars and then reconnects after maybe 30 seconds if I dont disconnect and reconnect it. Now you see this doesn't sound bad, but you guys know how ANNOYING this is while gaming and hosting servers!

I own a laptop, Windows 8. Don't see how the type of laptop matters.

Ok so what i've tried so far

1) Updating drives (I believe i've updated all of them)
2) Going into control panel and turning off "Allow this computer to turn off this device" (Something along the lines of that)
3) Trouble shooting. (Made the crashes less frequent, but didn't fully solve the problem)
4) Some other small things I can't quite remember.

So if anyone out there has the knowledge to help me, it would be much appreciated.

Now I can't open up my computer with a screw driver, so if the fix involves that... yeah.

Extra Info: It's only happening on my Computer. My brother says it's fine (The Router is in his room.) So I don't know if it's an interference with the signal or what.
