my wireless internet keeps dropping the connection, for a few minutes the connection is fine and then the little wifi icon on the bottom right shows not connected, then after a few minutes it reconnects and so on.

you need to ascertain if this is the router or the laptop – do any other computers connect wirelessly to your network? what are the lights doing on the router when the connection fails? if other people do connect and they dont have the problem then its is the wireless card in the laptop – try reinstalling its drivers, if you have an internal wifi card you may need to reseat the cards aerial connectors, if other computers experience the issue you will need to factory reset the router and setup again from scratch, but from personal experience once a router starts having this type of issue then its usually on its way out and needs replacing, you can also test your laptop on someone elses wifi network if your computer is the only one that connects on yours – www.computer-adviser.com/wifi-problems.html
