Wireless network drops intermittently, needs reset to reconnect

This worked for me:

Hold the Windows Key and Press R. In the run dialog, type*regedit*and click OK. Navigate to the following path in Registry Editor,
HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WcmSvc\
See if the*GroupPolicy subkey exists, if not with WcmSvc highlighted, right click on WcmSvc and Choose New -> Key and name it*GroupPolicy, then click*GroupPolicy*and then in the right pane, (right-click) and choose New -> DWORD (32-bit) and create value, name it as*fMinimizeConnections*and Click OK. Disconnect from your network. Now, reboot and test. Post back with the results.

Thanks Elizabeth; I just changed it. I'll monitor my WiFi and keep you posted.

Thanks.
Did you try Elizabeth's suggestion or the channel change?

Yes, I've changed both. I've changed the EMERITUS channel's value to 8, and the group policy for multiple internet/domain connections to '0'. I'll keep you both posted on the results.
Thanks!

@Ken & @Elizabeth, I was just looking at the Event Viewer to see if there was anything there, and this is what I saw:





I see numerous similar events, spread out randomly every day.

Could these events be an indicator to the problem?
