Do you know what wireless card and what router model you're using to connect? Also, what frequency?

I just got a Dell Inspiron 15 7000 two days ago and I think I might be having the same problem. In fact, I just shared this in a similar thread.
I use the Inspiron as my main computer, and a MacBook Pro as a secondary computer. I use Synergy to share the mouse and keyboard from the Inspiron to the MacBook. This is _exactly_ how I've been working for two years with my much older Dell that this Inspiron is replacing.
Just today I've noticed what I think is a WiFi problem. Without warning, my Synergy'ed mouse/keyboard will stop working on the Mac. The Synergy server running on the Inspiron logs that the client disappeared. Any web page I was loading fails. Then, after a short time (maybe 10-30 seconds), it comes back.
While it's gone, the Windows 10 WiFi indicator indicates that I'm still connected. While it's gone, I can directly use the Mac without any connectivity problems.
This all leads me to believe it's something in the new Inspiron that isn't working correctly.
