You could also download, install and run this [https://www.techspot.com/downloads/5936-inssider.html|free WiFi sniffer program] to check the signal strength of the WiFi signal received by the laptop. If it stays fairly constant but the connection is lost then it may be a software problem. Remember that the signal strength values are -ve (negative) dB values so the higher the number the weaker the signal.
