4 Day old laptop keeps losing Wifi (Realtek drivers issue?)

[Kinna22]

I purchased a new laptop on Friday and this problem presented itself over the weekend - every so often, it will not connect to wifi - it no longer shows any available networks to connect to (at first I thought this was an issue with our router which does periodically conk out and reset itself, but it isn't). If I restart my laptop the problem rights itself for a few hours. I tried downloading new realtek drivers yesterday which seemed to do the trick, but it has already happened once today, and as I am remote desktop working at the moment, it royally fudged that up too.

Unfortunately I do not have a screengrab of the troubleshooting response - the issue seems to be with driver rtl8821ce though.

Any help gratefully received, I don't want to try and return it during the current climate if I can sort it out myself!
