A7000 Disconnects periodically while flashing a blue LED when Disconnected

Around every 20 mins my A7000 adapter disconnects from the wifi and I am unable troubleshoot the cause. Nothing else in my household does this except for the A7000 adapter. The light blinks blue when it disconnects but then it reconnects after a few seconds. Any help would be appreciated 🙂

    Wifi adapters can suffer when Windows decides to turn off USB devices to save energy probably for the benefit of laptop users. You might like to dig into your version of Windows to track down and turn off power saving for your adapter.
