I found a workaround! If I power up the laptop, and check the wifi, and
if it is OK, then I close down the screen (thats mean laptop going to
sleep). After I open it, and just using like normal, then the connection
working well for a day, or more.
If I dont do that, then comes up the usual problem.

What ? Anybody have an idea what is it mean, and how ?

Thanks
