Wireless constantly stops working

I have a hp dv6500t laptop with the intel 4965AGN wireless card. My wireless connection constantly goes out. It still shows it as connected like normal but doesn't work. For a while I thought it was my internet provider but when this happens I am still able to connect to wifi through my android phone and through another home computer. The only way to resolve this issue is to uninstall the driver for the network adapter and reinstall it. Any ideas of what is going on?

 

Do you have a hidden SSID?
Did you disable power saving for Wi-Fi card in Windows settings?

 

My SSID is not hidden. I can see it when I search for wifi networks. I also did try disabling the power saving for my wifi card, because I read on another forum that it may fix my issue. Still didn't fix it however so I am not sure what to do. I did a fresh install of windows 7 about a week ago in hope of fixing it too but that didn't work.

 

Are your drivers up to date (according to Intel website, not HP one)?

 

Yea I logged on two days ago to update the drivers off of intel's website instead of having windows 7 fetch some from the internet somewhere.

 

Last two things that come to my mind. One- change the wireless channel (you may use inSSIDer to scan for free channels) and two- see if your router takes advantage of the most recent firmware available.
It's possible that either your HP has problems with this router (which can be resolved only by updating both Wi-Fi drivers and firmware) or your HP is more prone to interference from other 2.4GHz sources than your other devices.
Do you use Bluetooth or any other non-Wi-Fi certifies wireless device near the HP?

 

no other wireless devices are being used. This has happened to my brother's HP laptop quite often too, so maybe it is an HP issue. I had a DLINK dir655 router in the past and this happened. Now I have a netgear WNDR3700 router and it continues. I am baffled as to what else I can do. All firmware on drivers and routers are up to date.

 

If it keeps occurring it might be related to the HP defective motherboards. Wireless issues is one of the symptoms along with the Nvidia GPU failure.

Check here: The NVIDIA GPU Litigation - Affected Models

 

Thanks for the site but my laptop is not listed on there. However it is experiencing the issues listed under the symptoms. I have a dv65xx model which of course isn't listed.

 

But dv6500t is an Intel model. It does not have defective Nvidia system chipset, instead it has Intel chipset. Therefore it cannot suffer from disappearing wireless that is caused by chipset defect The GPU defect is a separate thing.

Check the router's main page, it should show system uptime somewhere. Some routers have a nasty habit of reboot loops under stress.
