My wifi drops out once a day

[katsu1990]

My laptop originally when bought would drop out of the wifi once every 5 days where it could not connect again and i would have to restart the computer. Now, it drops out once a day and i am looking to try and fix this. I tried to update the wireless network driver on the laptop but everything is up to date. What is the best course of action to rectify this?
