Hey,
I'm having trouble with my laptops wifi connection. Every 30min-hour or so I lose my connection. Windows will say I'm connected to the internet but I won't be able to do anything. This happens everywhere I go with my laptop, so I'm assuming it's not an issue with my router (other devices on my wifi don't drop either).

Whenever this happens, if I "ipconfig -release" then "ipconfig -renew" and it fixes it until next time.
I also lag for about 0.5seconds every minute or so if I'm playing an online game (don't know if it's related or not)

I have updated and re-installed my network card driver already, but I don't know how to diagnose this or fix it. Any help is appreciated :)
