Inconsistent internet problems

So over the past couple of days the internet connection (I am using wireless) on my pc randomly cuts out every ~15 minutes for no reason, and it doesn't seem to be going away

 

I'm fairly confident that it isn't the router, because all of my other devices don't experience the problem

 

Please can someone help?

Maybe the wifi card.

I understand that it may be the problem, but how would I go about fixing it?

Try updating drivers.

i had this once and it turned out to be something installed on my pc, a dodgy driver it was.

Should I uninstall my previous drivers?

If there updates just download the new driver. If not reinstall.
