Look at any wifi setting from your laptop and review them and see if there is some "time limit" imposed due to inactivity. Also, you may want to check your "power options" under the laptop OS and see if anything can be done. If you have a time limit there or it starts to shutdown to save on battery power. These are areas I look look at.

As per my view the problem is coming due to some technical problems in wireless driver. I would say Re-install the driver and then see if the problem gets solved or not.
Hope It Works out.

I guess, it's a windows problem. I was facing same problem and someone recommend me to re-install windows. I did and my LAN connection is working fine. You should try it out!

Thanks!
