Cannot Reconnect

I can connect to my wireless home network (off a Netgear WPN824) just fine. However, after a few minutes of web surfing (especially on media-heavy sites), I lose connection. When I go to reconnect Windows Zero can't find any networks to connect to. I've verified it's a problem on the computer side, not the router side. I'm using a Realtek RTL8185 wireless chip. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the driver too many times to count, and nothing fixes the problem but a full system reboot. Anyone have any ideas?
Any help would be greatly appreciated... any help... at all... about anything... please?
That site explains that if you use WZ, nothing else can be controlling the NIC. Look at that first.

After wrestling with my PC manufacturer's posted drivers, I decided to go straight to RealTek and after navigating their maddeningly slow and complex site, I found the chip's drivers and now everything works perfectly. It's not even dropping the connection anymore.
