Without any details of what's the possible cause, first try to move the laptop closer to the wireless router, as there is a possibility it's at it's maximum range. Make sure there are no electrical devices causing interference with the wireless signal. If it still persists, I would re-install the wireless driver. There's a possibility that the wireless circuitry inside the device is intermittently cutting out so to test this you would need to disable this wireless device and add a USB wireless device and see if that works OK. This way you will have isolated whether it's the laptop if you are receiving a good signal.

Things to Check: 1. Please check if the wireless switch on your laptop is ON? 2. Are you able to see your wireless network in the list of connections? If the answer for both of the above is yes, then Turn OFF & Turn ON the Modem/Router. Please delete all the connections that are stored on your laptop's wireless settings/Wireless connections and retry connecting to your network. On your modem/router, please remove any security passwords and make the network accessible by any one any try connecting to the network.If the connection is successful, then reprogram the modem / router with a password. Another easy fix to find if the fault is actually with your laptop is to go to a free public wireless hotspot and see if your laptop connects to their network.If it dd, its not your Laptop but your wireless modem/router.
