    Make sure you dont hit the f2 key or it will disable your wifi.

    Im not sayin thats your problem but it happened to me :D


    When your wifi stops working can you still see that the wifi signal is still there?

    click the signal bars in your taskbar once.When you see your connection right click it and go to properties.

    Under the connection tab see if the "connect automatically when this network is in range" box is checked.If not check it.
