It's been almost one month and the internet has let me down, I cannot find a solution to this issue.



My WiFi will intermittently disconnect between 30 seconds - 30 minutes. It will often get into a fit of continuously disconnecting if I try to reconnect it.



The issue persists on WPA2-Enterprise (auth: PEAP, inner auth: MSCHAPv2), standard WPA/WPA2, and open internet.
