Is it the only computer on the network that has this issue?

Tried this?
Your power settings could be turning it off.


Step 1: Press the “Windows” button.

Step 2: Type “Power Options”

Step 3: Select which plan you need to modify ( for example, I use Balanced plan on battery and Performance plan on charging)

Step 4: Click on “Change Plan Settings” .

Step 5: Click on “Change Advanced Power Settings”

Step 6: Scroll down to “Wireless Adapter Settings” and expand it, and then expand “Power Saving Mode”

Step 7: Select “Maximum Performance” for both on battery and plugged in.
Stage 2
Step 1: Go to Control Panel>Network and Internet>Network and Sharing Center
Step 2: Left click on the connection of yous network (Blue Color Label).
Step 3: This will open the Wi-Fi status box. Select Properties, select Configure, click on the Power Management Tab.
Step 4: Uncheck the box that says “Allow computer to turn off this device to save power”. Select Ok.
The tweak is completed. Restart your system for the effect to be applied.

It could also be that you are not renewing your leased IP from the DHCP server...

1) Open Control Panel
2) Open Network and Sharing Center
3) Click 'Change adapter settings'
4) Right click your network adapter and click Properties
5) In the 'This connection uses the following items:' box, select 'Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)', and click 'Properties'.
6) Make sure that 'Obtain an IP address automatically' and 'Obtain DNS server address automatically' are checked.
7) Click Okay

Its all setup like you say, but still going on the problems.

i find some thread on the internet about this kind of problem on W8 computers, but none of those help me out ;( !

If anything, it would be your network adapter missing drivers. Maybe??
