Laptop randomly dropping wifi connection

Forum Wireless Networking : General Discussion Laptop randomly dropping wifi connection

I just received my laptop on Wednesday and it worked fine for the first two days but now it won't stop dropping the connection. It's a MSI GT682R-242US V1. Everytime it drops the connection I can't reconnect until I restart my router and modem. After that it will drop the connection again from anywhere between 30 minutes and 5 hours. Its wireless card is an Intel(R) Centrino(R) Wireless-N 130 #2. The router is a Netgear N 300 and the modem is ubee. I don't know what to do. I don't want to have to return the laptop because it's fantastic except for this one issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated. If you need more info that I didn't provide just ask for it.
