WIFI connection keeps dropping repeatedly

[delodaemon]

I bought this laptop about a year ago and just finally got around to checking the warranty and of course it expired 7 days ago. Ever since I got this laptop the WIFI connection constantly drops unless I am sitting in the same room as our router (and even then it happens sporadically). I live in a 900sf apartment, I dont see how the WIFI connection cannot stay intact when walking into another room. I dont have this issue with any of my other devices, including my other/older HP laptop, this is so very frustrating and I wish i would have sent my laptop in before the warranty expired. I have reformatted this laptop multiple times in the past. 

Any feedback would be appreciated

@delodaemon -- since the warranty has expired, you have two choices:

1. pay a computer technician a lot of money to disassemble your computer, remove the current WiFi adapter card, connect a replacement, reassemble and test your computer. 

2. within Windows "Device Manager", disable the WiFi adapter. Purchase a WiFi adapter that connects to a USB socket on your computer. Connect it to your WiFi network. Total cost: under $40 US.

Hi @itsmyname, thanks so much for your reply and sorry for the late response. I order a USB wifi-adapter for $15 and just "installed it", let's see if that will fix the problem, so far so good. Thank you very much for your advice, it's much appreciated.
