Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless-AC 8260 disconnects from internet

[MRide1]

At irregular intervals, usually when computer has been idle for a few hours, I find that I've lost my internet connection. I'm using Windows 7 Pro, in a HP EliteDesk mini. I have to through the Control Panel Network Center to find my network and re-connect, since my network is usually not shown in the "available networks" list. I am almost always able to reconnect this way, but it is a bit of a pain, and I'd rather not have to do it other than the initial connection. The troubleshooter always says that the solution was to "reset the wireless adapter or gateway." Everything else through our ATT Uverse gateway is fine. What's the solution to make my little issue go away?
