Windows 10: Online Gaming

Whenever I am gaming online, I find that if the game's graphics are high but not too high, and I play for a long period of time, that my Wi-Fi will disconnect for only my laptop, and no other device in my house. Even the other day when I was playing a chrome game Jackbox my Wi-Fi disconnected a few times. I don't know what to do about this. I've tried:-Updating the drivers for everything, from sound all the way to graphics, using Driver Easy and a few DELL drivers, too.-Looking around online for other fixes, including turning off the "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power"
