Intel 7260 loses connection

Every so often I stop being able to connect to the internet. It's quite irregular, happening from once every 5 minutes to once every two hours or so. The issue is fixed by a card reset. However, I don't want to have to do this every time this happens.

I've tried many things, including re-installing drivers, re-seating the card, buying new aerials and nothing works.

I think it's a driver issue though. It shows up in Event Viewer. I have included the XML summary of the events below
