WiFi disconnects, must close and reopen laptop to reconnect
Hey everyone,
I'm a college kid who has been having major issues with my laptop, I'm desperate for some help.
The problems:
My Wifi cuts out at random, and after that my laptop won't reconnect- or connect to any wifi- until I either close the lid, wait for the green light to go off, then reopen, or I restart. This always temporarily fixes the problem. (This actually happened when I first tried to submit this post, so I have to retype the whole thing . This happens within anywhere from 10 minutes to a few hours from when I reconnect to wifi, and it seems to be somewhat correlated to me opening new tabs (or submitting a new post ). I don't use my laptop for anything other than casual browsing and school work, so I don't have any weird programs that might cause this. No single event started this, but it's been happening for months. I'd really appreciate any help.
My system info:

Let me know if I need to provide any more information, preferably tell me how to provide that, too (complete computer noob).
Thank you all so much, I'd be so grateful for any help.
