    Hi,
    You could try switching to different DNS address like OpenDNS or GoogleDNS, right click WiFi icon in Taskbar, click Open Network & Internet settings, click change adapter options, highlight and right click WiFi, highlight Internet Protocol Version 4 and click Properties, select radio button for Use the following DNS server...,
    Google address as in my snip, for Open DNS: 208.67.222.222 for Primary and 208.67.220.220 for secondary.

    I actually had the same issue on my predator where my wifi would randomly disconnect me, then reconnect 10 seconds later, causing me to drop from games a lot. In the end, I fixed it by simply uninstalling my Atheros Wireless LAN installer (and used the default windows plug and play) and it worked for me.
