Specs:
My Bigfoot Killer N 1103 half mini pci-e works OK. It's based on Atheros AR9380 chip so support in Linux is great (no non-free firmware needed).
If that's the only device having the problem.. then it probably indicates the WiFi card itself is dying. Looks like you can get a replacement on Amazon for about $80: http://www.amazon.com/Bigfoot-Networks-KillerN-1103-Notebook-Wireless/dp/B005GA1N7I/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1405270233&sr=8-1&keywords=killer+wireless+n+1103
Another approach would be to download a bootable Linux distro (such as Ubuntu or Mint).. and boot your system to that and test WiFi to see if it drops under Linux also. Linux may use more generic drivers... so it may work more reliably.. but if it does drop (under Linux).. then that's a pretty clear indication it's a hardware problem.
