I did have same problem with my HP pavillion g6. My wifi connection was dropping frequently , especially when the laptop was idle for a moment . I spend over 1 week trying to get to the bottom of problem ( such a waste of time ! Could have made enough money to buy few new laptops...).
1.Did several wifi adapter driver updates ( from HP support website).
2. Changed Power management plan for wifi card ( under device manager)
3. Restored Laptop and Windows 8 to factory settings
4. Fiddled with command com file in variety of ways suggested on several "helpful" websites .
5. Created Admin profile on my laptop to be able to change my settings
5. Few other things that i found in the web and which were supposed to help ( do not remember now what they were ).
All in vain . What did help and took 2 minutes was to buy new Ralink RT5390 wifi card on ebay ( £5.50) and replacing the old wifi card ( 2 minutes of my time in total : 1min to watch youtube film on how to replace the card and 1 min to actually replace it) . As I did buy the same wifi card, I did not need to reinstall drivers at all and my laptop started working right away. I here that buying other wifi adapter brands solves the problem too ( eg Broadcom cards ). If you have time and other working laptop at home you can buy the same card on ebay directly from China for £3( takes 2-3 weeks to arrive) . My wifi is zippo again . I really recommend to do it to anybody who is experiencing wifi problem . Do not waste your time !
