I have a HP Envy 13 laptop and the wifi keeps getting turned off even though all of my other devices are fine. I restart it, but it's been happening for the past two weeks.

The printer is waking up from sleep and getting a different IP address than it had and your PC cannot communicate with it anymore. A quick fix is to set the sleep to off or never.
Access the printers embedded web page and set sleep to off or never.

If the printer keeps changing its IP address then a change to the modem is necessary. The printer needs to be assigned a fixed IP address that is reserved and does not change. This is necessary on flex networks (multiple Wi-Fi booster / repeaters)
Assigning a fixed or reserved IP address is done in the modem as part of DHCP configuration.
First get a network report from the printer so you know its IP address or Mac address
Log into the modem and look for the DHCP server. Find the IP or Mac address of the printer and make it a fixed IP address.
----------an easier method----------
Alternately, you can use Wi-Fi Direct communication and bypass the router completely.
Please provide the exact model of your printer as there may be videos available on youtube.
