When it drops out, right click on the wifi symbol on the taskbar at bottom of screen, hit the "troubleshoot problems" and follow that through - it may come back and ask to use administrator privileges, agree with that.
In fact, do the above even when you haven't got a fault, it sometimes finds hidden issues.
More frequently I find these things are a router problem, do you ever switch the router off, its best to reboot all "computery" things at least once a week eg routers, mobile phones etc.

You may be suffering from you neighbour using the same channel. Try downloading a wi-fi analyser app such as https://www.cnet.com/uk/how-to/how-to-optimize-your-wi-fi-network-with-wifi-analyzer/ which will show you what channels are in use next door. You can solve it by just swapping to another channel It may also be that someone else is using your wi-fi deliberately. You can find out by listing what's attached to your network and make sure you recognise what IS connecting to it. You need to change your password at the very least if that is the case. You could be blamed for what they are doing!

I have the same problem, it only seems to happen on a Tuesday, I have found that the Sky signal from someone nearby is actually stronger than my own signal (Virgin), usually a reboot of the router fixes it. You'd be better choosing a different channel from the other user. I have about three signals stronger than mine from neighbours, but they are all in different channels and don't interfere.

EMC Advice form RSGB Although the EMC Advice Leaflet is written by the RSGB (the National Society for Radio Amateurs) for radio hams, it does contain a lot of practical information for everyone on all aspects of radio interference across the radio spectrum, including the use and effects of PLD's (power line devices). Further searches on the rsgb.org site will reveal links to the specifications and outline the difficulty with problems caused by seemingly legal equipment to be out of spec, getting it traced and eliminated. As not enough people complain that PLD's are causing problems, authorities such as OFCOM have to treat the problem as a minor one as far as legislation goes. In short, the makers get away with breaking the law on spectrum abuse. It is also worth remembering that remote meter readings for gas and electricity may be sent over the supply cables, either now or in the near future.
