It may go to sleep when your comuter is idle (even downloading something). Please turn on power option from wifi card using Device Manager. Please try

 

(a) Open Device Manager,

(b) Expan Network adapters,

(c) Right click Wifi adapter and select Properties

(d) Untick Save power option

Looks like you upgraded your machine from something to Windows 8.1 and no drivers for Windows 8.1 at all.

 

Regards.

I did what you suggested, it worked for a little bit but it still happens once in a while.
