Guys, I have this annoying problem, my wireless is extremely unstable for some reason.
It keeps disconnecting randomly. I know it's not a problem with the router because all my other devices works just fine.
I did try some other routers, but it still happened.
Funny thing is, sometimes my signal is 100%, other times it drops to 30%. This also happens only on this laptop.

Here is some information about my system:

root@kali:~# iwconfig
eth0 no wireless extensions.

lo no wireless extensions.
