WiFi Connection Keeps Going Down

This is a new one for me. My WiFi connection keeps going down, so I have to do the following:
Click 5 bars
Click 'Disconnect'
Click 5 bars (again)
Click 'Connect'

After doing this, my connection stays on for an indefinite amount of time. I could be connected for a couple minutes (or even less) or I could be connected for perhaps an hour (or more). It is very weird, very annoying, and very hard to troubleshoot.

The very weird thing is that it seems to happen only when I am watching a video on Netflix. I'm I'm not using Netflix, it seems like everything is fine. I don't have actual evidence for this claim, but there really seems to be a positive correlation between using Netflix and my laptop WiFi connection being very unstable.

I am using a ThinkPad t430 and I believe my drivers are up to date (I installed and ran the 'Windows Driver Updater'). Has anyone here heard of this? Does someone have an idea of how to fix this?
