Default Wireless connection problem

I (the missus ) have an Acer Aspire 1640 laptop (getting on a bit now I know) that has built in wi-fi. I can connect fine to my BT home hub, however quite randomly a bubble pops up saying you have limited or no connection. I right click the icon and repair it and all is fine.
Sometimes it will do it once then not happen again. Othertimes it will do it every 5 mins and its really starting to irritate me now.
I've tried re-setting the router but to no avail.

Any ideas tech heads??

Give it a static ip, subnet, gateway (maybe a dns address too) and it should be fine.
