laptop randomly drops to limited access on DGND3700v2

My laptop will randomly go from working to limited connectivity. I have to disconnect and reconnect to the wireless. It will do this several times a day (usually at the most inconvenient times). The disconnects have gotten so bad I am starting to consider going back to my old router.The problematic router has been updated to the latest firmware. I have upgraded the wireless drivers on my laptop. The laptop is windows 8.1. So far support has not been of any assistance in resolving the issue. Support has had me reinstall the firmware, change the MTU to 1450, fragmentation length to 2344, and CTS/RTS threshold to 2345. None has made any difference. Would any one have any suggestions for resolving the issue?

Try manually setting the DNS server addresses in the laptop’s TCP/IP settings (IPv4), try 8.8.8.8 / 8.8.4.4.
