    Hi weogy104. This is a strange problem to have and can be very frustrating one. Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the wireless drivers? This may be a very common solution but it will often correct small problems such as this. At any rate its a good starting point. If you contact your tech support center this will likely be the first thing they suggest. If you have to call them you can tell them that you've already tried it. Hope this helps.

    If you have tried the latest drivers from Intel and still doesn't work, you might need to go to the driver list and install the one from microsoft which is normally the older one. This fixed my random connection drops I had with a laptop using the same 3945ABG card.
