Over the past few days, my wifi has been spotty at best. It is only my computer, and I have an Asus Q500a laptop. I will be online, or playing a game, and the wifi will randomly drop, but the computer says it is still connected to the wireless network. In order to fix this problem, I have to disconnect the wifi, and reconnect, and this takes several minutes. It also has all the wifi networks but mine checked for "Connect automatically." I have checked for driver updates, and nothing says it needs to be updated

This could be due to the outdated Wireless drivers on the computer. I would suggest you to follow these methods to fix the Wireless Connectivity issue on the computer.
