Default HELP! Intermittent Network Connection with New PC

For Christmas I got a new computer which I successfully connected to my home
network. However, occasionally it does not connect. If I restart the
computer and reset the router it works fine, but in a few days it crops up
again. The technique I am using at the moment works fine, but gets a bit
wearing. Is there a solution to this short of hibernating the computer
instead of shutting it down (if that would help)?

Any help is appreciated.

Windows Update (I have Microsoft Update installed) says that there are no
updates available. It did, previously, install an update for the driver for
my USB Wireless Adaptor, should I try uninstalling that?

I have turned IPv6 off and it seems to be working so far... I'll post back
if it doesn't work.
