Hi,

Follow the steps mentioned below and check if they help.

Step 1:

I'd recommend updating the firmware of your router as well as updating your wireless network adapter's drivers.

The majority of connection problems within Windows 7 have been solved by installing the latest driver for the wireless network adapter obtained from the manufacturer.
Download and install the Windows 7 compatible drivers and check if the issue gets fixed.

Refer the following Microsoft article for more information on updating drivers:

Step 2:

If that does not help, you may uninstall and re-install wireless network adapter from Device Manager to be on a safer side.

To uninstall the wireless connection from Device Manager,

a.
Click Start, type Device Manager in the Start search box and hit Enter.
b.
Locate Network adapters and expand the same.
c.
Select the wireless connection, right-click and select Uninstall.
d.
Restart the computer, if prompted.

Drivers should get installed automatically after restarting the computer.

Now, you may install the latest wireless drivers and check if that fixes the issue.
