    As title. It's fine normally, and it's only started to happen recently. I'm not sure if it's just this network. It works fine with the ethernet cable, never disconnects, but during high CPU usage it disconnects very frequently. It would disconnect and reconnect itself all in 10 seconds, but then it'll happen again every minute or so.

    What should I do to stop it from disconnecting?

    Download all updates and see if there is an updated driver at the wireless manufacturers website. This often fixes the problem.
