I have a lenovo laptop that connects to the home internet via wifi. But some times the connection would randomly drop and I'm unable to reconnect the laptop, as the PC would say "you cannot connect to this network". When I troubleshoot network problems or restart the PC, the problem goes away. But I would like to know what causes it to happen.

No other devices (PC, laptops or phones) connected to the same network suffers from this problem. Thanks
 
Solution
Check for and then update the firmware to the router and laptop(drivers). I don't know the technical reasons but I do know some routers and adapters don't play nice.(compatibility issues)
