    I updated the BIOS and reinstalled the driver but the wireless still fails after the laptop is on for less than an hour. The only way to fix this is to reinstall it. Does anybody know what could be the problem and if there is a fix for this. The laptop acts like I switched the wireless button to the left making an orange light instead of a blue light. This is really dumb because this laptop is less than 2 years old.

    Thanks

    Try checking event view to see if you're getting an entry at the time you lose connectivity, then try taking it out and reinstalling it. There are wireless card adaptor diagnostic tools, see if you can find a FREE ONE. 2 years old is not that new when it comes to laptops, your Wireless LAN Minicard might have sacked it, you can pick one up for undwer $25 on ebay and USB one are even cheaper
