Occasional WiFi disconnects on Asus X55VD

Occasionally my wifi disconnects and only way to re-establish connection is to disable/enable networking via NetworkManager (using XFCE).
Sometimes it works for couple of days sometimes it disconnect couple of times per day, not sure why, maybe someone could shed some light on this behavior.

Same thing happened before while running Ubuntu and Fedora (until i settled with Arch finally).

Let me know if i could gather some useful output for you kind people to help debug the issue.
It's specially annoying as i'm using Synergy to occasionally do something on laptop from my desktop PC.

Thanks

Maybe some wifi powersaving feature is turned on?

Not that i know. It would do that all the time, not every now and then..

Interference from some other equipment? Malicious activity?

I had better luck with wicd than NetworkManager but I'm a self proclaimed noob.

Edit: Asus G55 here by the way.

I had the same problem myself, but I had an Arch that wouldn't update any packages because it was to old and pacman needed to be update which wouldn't let me update that. I reinstalled arch and the wifi started to work like a charm.
