Ok,well yesterday after playing Dota 2,I alt-tabbed and tried to access a live-blog site for the Xbox reveal
The Wi-Fi automatically got disconnected. :|
I checked in the "Connect to a Network Tab" and found out that my Wi-Fi router/network does not appear
So i restarted my Laptop,and saw it was connected to the Wi-Fi network again(My laptop is set to auto-connect to my Wi-Fi)
but then it again auto-disconnected
basically I did 2 things this time
1)I restarted the PC
2)Immediately started firefox browser and started browsing internet

Then i turned off my laptop and turned it on but i didn't start firefox for web browsing,I played Dota 2 instead,Magically it did-not auto-disconnect

today i was using Firefox again,and again the Wi-Fi got auto-disconnected :|


Please help me

May be someone trying to hack...!! Is it password protected? WEP or WPA?

WPA2,password protected.

Or is my Laptop's inbuilt Wi-Fi adapter dying?

Then it is safe..

At that time, when your laptop disconnected check with phone's wifi, if it is able to detect the router.

launch internet explorer & try opening router home page(192.168.1.1) while simultaneously browsing some random website in another tab.see if you can repeat this behaviour with other browsers beside firefox.
