I have the same problem with my Inspiron 5537 laptop which I just bought in February 2014 - Start up laptop, WIFI connects to home gateway - shortly after WIFI drops. - Open up internet access Icon and perform repair - works no problem after that After a power cycle this has to be done again. Other laptops in same area do not have this problem and it is not a router or gateway issue. Does DELL recognize this and have a fix?
The same issue is happening to me, using Windows 8.1
I had initially thought deselecting the 'power saver' option on the Intel Wireless N-7260 Adapter properties would solve this, since it did for my BlueTooth issue, but the problem persists.
Last I had checked, I had the latest driver.
It seems to happen if I close the lid and have it sitting for a period of time, still plugged in.
My Power Options indicated not to 'go to sleep' etc. when plugged in.
I had exactly the same problem with the Intel Wireless N-7260 Adapter of WiFi dropping / repair and ok until next restart. As IAMTBG states, upgrade to latest drivers (17.0.0.34 - 18/02/2014) and problem solved.
faced the same issue with my new laptop after just few weeks suddenly it start losing WiFi without any warning and need to be restart or connect manually but luckily find the solution on Google through inlet update drivers, learn the lesson check the drivers update prior to to jump in any frustration issues...:)

I have purchased Inspiron 5537, service tag: , and have a problem with WiFi adapter, the following message appears:
" WINDOWS COULDN'T AUTOMATICALLY BIND THE IP PROTOCOL STACK TO THE NETWORK ADAPTER"
Dell's wireless 1705 adapter.
Given that I am working with WINDOWS 7 64 bit service pack 1, and have no problem with the wired connection and the Bluetooth.

I'd re-check that the driver is the correct and most up to date version. Go onto the Intel website to find it.

thanks SOCAL777...appreciate the suggestion.
When I selected 'Update Driver' from the adapter properties, it indicated I had the latest one, which was:
16.5.3.6 | 19-Sep-13
However when I went to the Intel site, there was a newer one, which I installed:
17.0.0.34 | 18-Feb-14
So far that seems to have done the trick.
I also did the same for my BlueTooth adapter.
