    It doesnt happen when you plug in the charger, or the Ethernet Cable?

    The charger shouldnt have anything to do with WiFi Connectivity really.

    Go to Power Options, Go to the plan you use. Change Plan Settings, go to advanced, and Wireless Adapter. Set the options in there to Maximum Performance, and see if it helps. :)
