Glad I at least prompted you to think of it. 
Reinstalling is a common technique too. I should have included it.

Of course, as soon as i posted that it was stable, it did it again
I now have two sets of drivers, so if it keeps up i'll try the other one.

installed? usually not a good idea to have 2 sets .........................

If they are the same drivers, and are up to date, and you just reinstalled them, how is it that you now have two sets?
yup - gotta take a ride
Landlords. They sometimes use that excuse to check on stuff
(and they have the right). Not a bad idea. Kinda depends on the renters.

no renters there, atty
2 business properties and one empty rental
maybe it was the parabolic aluminum foil placed at the proper spacing so it focused the RF energy on the antenna that helped.........

You have an EMPTY rental!?!?!?
The horror!
You need to turn that into income!
Tibs, I'm shocked!

So, only one set of drivers is installed.
I downloaded a new set yesterday. And i know where the downloaded files are saved. I don't know where the original drivers are saved, though i could probably find them (eventually) if i have to.
When i went to reinstall the drivers, two sets/choices showed up in the dialogue box. There was no freaking information about which set was new. There were both listed as being the appropriate drives for my adapter, one from microsoft and one from atheros. Since i downloaded the new drivers from the atheros website, that's the set i installed. I figured if i was wrong, i'd reinstall the other set.
(I'm kinda at the bleeding edge of my computer skills)

I didn't actually try that...I'm saving my tinfoil for hats. I keep needing them when i think about vaping and politics.

patience, grasshopper!
new windows installation was completed yesterday - but more work to be done inside
Well, you can always try the other set.
With WiFi problems like that, my 1st suspicion is signal problems. Hence the tin foil club post. Also the rearrange stuff post. And the move close post.
WiFi is notorious for being messed with by outsiders too. Hackers. But you'd have to check router logs (IDK if you can).
Then there's computer and driver and protocol problems.
Then there's hardware issues.
Wires just work. That's why I run wires. But like I said, that's me.
I suppose that's not fair either. It's not all wine and roses that way either. Ran a wire for GF. Worked. She swapped the wire out. Also her kid messed with the router. So now her slingbox that I got her Christmas before last won't work anymore and she hasn't allocated time to fix it. IDK what that deal is either. Was working when I left........
Can you just move the laptop closer temporarily and see if it "goes away"?

you mean to say you don't wear your tin foil hat on a permanent basis the way i do?
I believe that. I bet that tin foil hat goes well with that robe.

Your "hat" is red. I've seen your avatar.

Great. How did they manage to time window installations during the coldest spell you've probably had in decades?
Laughing WITH you Tibs. WITH you....
It's only happened once since i reinstalled, and that could have been a signal glitch.
I'm 90% sure that I'm using the proper drivers, and I'm 75% sure i know which driver to delete from the system 32 file (yep, i found it/them). But if i need to do anything further, i'll move the laptop all the way to my desk at work, so that i can use the highspeed wires there, and still have a connection (and assistance) if i screw something up.
I have things set up in the locations that i want them to be set up- and moving stuff around to accommodate a crappy modem is an absolute last resort.
