I am using external mouse,keyboard and monitor on my laptop and when I close the laptop display and start a game, the wi-fi disconnects automaticly and when I get out of the game it comes back, in configurating settings on the connection I did untick the "Allow the pc to deactivate this device to save energy." I am really desperate since I don`t have enough space on my desk to keep the laptop on it openned. I read other threads on the internet about that, but I didn`t find a solution.
 
Solution
The antenna is in the lid, keep it upright and see if it stops disconnecting. I suspect its not dropping the connection on purpose but because of the loss of signal strength.
