Like the OS in use here as many Linux OS's have issues with Wireless connections and if you got a answer for that and are using some form of Windows the answer is useless.
Also the actual Hardware in the form of the Router/WiFi Access Point is necessary as it could be a problem with the Router/WiFi Access Point or it could just as easily be a problem of a incompatibility of the OS and the Hardware in use.
So if you care to provide the full details of the system and so forth someone here will try to help you. ;)
However as a starting point unplug the Router/WiFi Access Point leave it unplugged for about 30 seconds and then plug it back in. Maybe a Power Spike on the Mains caused this and resetting the Router/WiFi Access Point will cure the problem.

I'm guessing ADSL? Plugs into your phone line? If you have a line splitter, perhaps it's faulty. If you have wireless internet, perhaps your router is in a bad reception location and you could try putting it in a different location (higher is better for bad reception areas)
Have you checked the lights on your router when your internet drops off?
What model is you modem router?

Have you checked with Internet provider to see if their have issues? Unhook you router and connect the internet directly to a computer set ip/config to automaticly obiain address and then try using the "ping" command to ping the providers server IP address. If you get 3 replies you
still have access to the server and your problem is within you own network: hardware or software
