My laptop won't stay connected to Wi-Fi for the past week

I have an ASUS VivoBook that suddenly started disconnecting from Wi-Fi every 5 minutes, even though other devices are working fine. I've already restarted the router and updated the drivers recently, but it's still happening. It's really frustrating because I work online. What else can I try?

Have you tried forgetting the Wi-Fi network on your laptop and reconnecting from scratch? Because sometimes the saved profiles get corrupted. You could also try disabling power saving on your network adapter (in device settings) - a lot of times your laptop shuts off the Wi-Fi to save battery without you noticing, and that causes weird disconnections like the one you're describing.

Maria asker I didn't know about the power saving thing, I'm gonna check that first. And yeah, I try forgetting the network and reconnecting.
