Hi.  (This is what worked for me)

I myself have an ASUS AC-53 USB Wifi card.

The card would every couple of hour indicate that there was no connection to the internet, but the wireless connection itself was working properly.

If I unplugged and replugged the card or used the windows troubleshooting guide (that resets the card) the connection would start to work again.

I found this message in the windows eventviewer for system : "WLAN Extensibility Module has stopped."

In my case, my laptop came pre-installed with a driver software for "INTEL PROset"-wireless cards

Once I uninstalled that software, the problem has gone away completely.

My problems were pretty much the same as you describe and perhaps you may not have the same driver/software issue but just incase , this might give you a new perspective on things.

Uninstall or update any other wireless driver software that you may have installed as most of these softwares tend to nestle themselves into the wlan autoconfiguration core of windows and can make life troublesome for other cards.

Quick explination of what I already tried before actually solving it in my case.

1. set a static IP
2. reset the tcp stack
3. disable power management options for the wifi card
4. disable the windows firewall
5. disable the local antivirus
6. Ask my wifi card manufacturer support for help
7. Setting wifi channels to manual 
8. Swapping to a new USB wifi card of the same brand and model.

The problem was , as written above, pre-installed paralell incompatible wifi drivers/software.

Best Regards

Charlie

Method 1 freezes my computer! Requires forcing a shutdown and restart. Not something to do on a regular basis.

These are manual restart techniques and do not address the underlying issue. This appears in my event log on a daily basis, how can I eliminate whatever is causing Win7 to **** out?

Same problem here WNA3100 ... with 8.1 64bit. Random loss of connectivity 2 weeks after initial setup.

I'm having this problem as well, still trying to find a solution, however a short term fix is to remove the wireless card from device manager and then run a scan for new hardware. In my instance, it reinstates the wireless card and it continues to work for about a week or two before dying again. Rinse and repeat. Hope it helps, and sorry for the thread necro.
