Wifi adapter not working

[piemadd]

So, whenever my wifi goes down (1-2 times a day), my internet card in my laptop will disable itself and refuse to work unless I reboot. I haven't tried drivers yet, but what could the problem be?

 

btw this is a laptop

 

The card is the Qualcomm Atheros QCA61x4A Wireless Network Adapter

802.11n

5/5 bars when connected

It's trying to save power.
Right click on the battery icon in your taskbar->Power Options->Change Plan Settings->Change Advanced Power Settings->Wireless Adapter Settings and put it on maximum performance

Also, disabling the wifi adapter in devices and re-enabling it usually brings it beck to life without a reboot.

Did you even try my advice? Restart your laptop, turn off power saving mode, then do everything I said above.
