Wifi drops out intermittently (other devices connected to router do not)

[EDashworth]

The wireless router is a Motorola MG-7310.  5 other devices are wirelessly in contact with this router and experience no wifi problems. The router is about 5 meters from the computer. When connected, the computer shows a strong signal from the router. The driver is 5.0.57.0 by Microsoft. Win 10 says this is up to date.

The computer becomes disconnected for no apparent reason at odd times. Often after a period of no activity (e.g. 30 minutes to 10 hours) or while in use (opening a new tab to go to a different web site).

I've set the power management to NEVER turn off the network adarter. I've set the computer to NEVER go to sleep. I;ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling the network adapter. None of these had any effect.

I've downloaded but not installed sp71571.exe; thought I would send this first.

Please let me know what I should do to end this aggravation.

Thanks.
