I've been having this problem for like a month now.
My wifi just randomly disconnects from my laptop and ONLY on my laptop. Any other PC in my house is working flawlessly.

It's not even the farthest PC from the modem, i'd say it's quite close to it in fact. Is it a problem of Network card or could be anything else? Is there a way to check it?

Thank you.

Doesn't seem to fix it.
Tried going insied the event register and found out, inside infos, there are LOTS of errors saying either my wifi is too far from the source or there are intereferences.

The problem with this is that it starts disconnecting around 10PM and stops around 11PM. Sometimes it happens in some other times, but that's the most critical i've noticed. (Having full signal all day long)

I had a similar issue on my dell (4 year old) I jumped on eBay got myself a replacement one and swapped it out , that was 2 years ago still running strong.
that's my suggestion, plenty of OLD new stock out there to replace it, if not, find a short or long Wi-Fi card from other laptops they will works as long you stick to format of card being used. (replace short Wi-Fi with short one), I replaced a QUALCOMM 2.4hgz G only card with an intel dual band ac with Bluetooth. so its not laptop specific. but size

Does this mean that a simple Wifi to Ethernet switch would resolve the problem? Or is the network card also related to cable?
