Wifi disconnects randomly Predator Helios 300

I got my Predator Helios 300 a month ago, and almost since the first day I've had this issue where my Wifi connection just randomly disconnects. This has never happened before with any other product that is connected to our network. There is no error message that pops up, it just disconnects and takes another minute or two before it is able to reconnect again. This is driving me up the wall and I have no idea how to fix it. Please help! Attached is a picture of what my wifi looks like when it disconnects.

Is your laptop connecting to other wifi networks?

Firstly and its a bit hard to give you any advice if you don't give us the exact model of your Predator Helios 300 and better still, the WiFi/BT card model!
Do this first > press the F3 key or the Fn and F3 keys together, and see if that activates your WiFi/BT when its disconnected? If not go to Device Manager > Network adapters and uninstall the WiFi driver try to just reboot and see if that fixes this issue? If it does not, download the WiFi/BT drivers from the Acer site and uninstall both WiFi/BT drivers completley (in Device Manager) and reinstall the new WiFi/BT drivers again and reboot, this should fix your problem!0 -

I think this is the WiFi card?? Killer(R) Wi-Fi AX 1650x 160MHz Wireless Network Adapter (200NGW)

1)go to device manager →expand network adapters →right click on your killer wireless driver then click on uninstall driver then restart your system.
After restart again go to device manager now again right click on killer wireless network then click on update driver.it will update if available.
Now again right click on killer wireless driver go to properties then click on power management tab and uncheck the setting called allow the computer to turn off this device to save power then ok.
