This sounds like the Wi-Fi adapter dropping the connection rather than the router. I'd check the power management setting on the adapter first — Windows sometimes turns it off to save power, and that causes exactly this kind of random drop. Updating the driver from the laptop maker's site rather than Windows Update is worth trying too.

Hi Jo Ann,

Try resetting your network. Open CMD as admin. User's image

Hit enter and type this command one by one.

netsh winsock reset
netsh int ip reset
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
ipconfig /flushdns

after that. Restart your laptop. Let me know how it goes.
