Laptops keeps disconnecting AC-7260

[PRoza1]

Some of the laptops in our school network keeps disconnecting at various times during the day.

We have found the following event logs.

Source: NETwNs64

Event Id: 7001

"The description for Event ID 7001 from source NETwNs64 cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer."

We also get the following more than 40 times with 3 different Event Id numbers (5005, 5032, 5035) but the event message is all the same as shown below.

If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event.

The following information was included with the event:

\Device\NDMP4

Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260

The specified resource type cannot be found in the image file

Has anyone come across this issue before?

We are using driver version 18.20.0.9 driver date 23-08-2015

Thanks in advance
