Immediately I say, that I live in the territory of the former Soviet Union, not Russia, but close enough. For this reason some of the principles and the work of many of the laws in my "wonderland" may seem controversialAnd i also apologize for my english.

 

So, on the main topic.

On my birthday I received a gift of a laptop. From my mom.

But she doesn't understand anything in the computer hardware. So, as is usually the case in our "wild Soviet kindoms", the seller quickly identified her incompetence. And he sold her what he wanted to get rid of the most. What turned out to be a Asus x550z with AMD a10 processor on board. In my country i can not return tech while it operating normally. So i stuck with this machine, without a real chance to return it back to the store and get money back (in truth, i had my old good samsung (almost 9 years ), that even with some upgrades wasn't fast, but good enough for minor web browsing).

 

But resently (kind of, because whole month has passed) i noticed strande thing. Two or three times in a single working session wifi can disconnect.  And then it cannot connect back, not only to previous network, but to any network that available. I checked the router and it works fine, the other devices has no problems with network. I checked laptop for same behavior on other networks, with other routers, and it has same signs. Cure for that thing, of course, reboot (Or hibernation, but not sleep mode). I cannot reinstall windows, because i can void warranty. So i need some advice.

 

Can it be hardware problem? I think so because reboot and hibernation mode shutting power from the main board, which sleep mode doesn't (Correct me if i wrong). So when we fully restart wifi module (or some other stuff), wifi starts working well again. Or, if I wrong, what could it be?

 

I ask because if all goes well, I'll get an opportunity to return most of the money, and use it to build some good PC.

 

In any case, thanks for the help.
