For some reason, the past week or 2, i keep losing connection to my wireless broadband. if i lose it, unless i reboot it wont work again.
My ps3 is conntected at the same time quite often, and when the laptop loses connection, the ps3 carries on fine online.
Sometimes it dies within 1 or 2mins, others itll go 10mins sometimes 1 or 2 hours and then die. Usually when it starts playing up, itll play up for a few hours on and off very often.
Where the hell do i start with this?

Try changing the channel on the router as it may be picking up interference. Also make sure there's no large metal and glass surfaces or fish tanks between the router and things that are using it.
How strong is the signal when you scan for the network?

Remove all wireless networks from the Wireless list and reconnect. If that fails try downloading the latest wireless drivers for the wireless card and installing.
Other issue could be the wireless card in going into sleep mode. To disable this, right click the wireless card in the Device Manager and click the Power Management tab. The untick the option for power saving mode.

It's definitely your computer/laptops wireless adapter that's causing the problem then.
How long has this been happening? Installed any software/hardware since the problem has occurred?
There might be an application conflicting with the wireless. You could try updating your drivers for the wireless adapter.
