This issue may occur if the Enable IEEE 802.1X authentication for this network check box is selected. If this check box is selected, but there is no server to authenticate against, the connection is disconnected. If you reestablish the wireless network connection, it disconnects again after a short time.

Method 1: Disable IEEE 802.1X authentication
To disable IEEE 802.1X authentication, follow these steps:

Click Start, type ncpa.cpl, and then hit Enter.
Right-click your wireless network connection, and then click Properties.
Click the Wireless Networks tab.
Under Preferred networks, click your wireless network, and then click Properties.
Click the Authentication tab, click to clear the Enable IEEE 802.1X authentication for this network check box, and then click OK two times.

Method 2: Remove and re-create the wireless network connection
To remove and re-create the wireless network connection, follow these steps:

Click Start, type ncpa.cpl, and then hit Enter.
Right-click your wireless network connection, and then click Properties.
Click the Wireless Networks tab.
Under Preferred networks, click your wireless network, and then click Remove.
Click View Wireless Networks.
Under Network Tasks, click Refresh Network List.
Under Choose a wireless network, click the wireless network to which you want to connect, and then click Connect.
Also I would recommend you to update the network adapter drivers and check.

Try to download off techspot. They have a download page. Here pick some and download it. See if you have the same issues as your describing? Also on the bottom of your laptop is it very hot to the touch?
 
It gets hot but not that hot.. and even if I download something off a site I have never been to before it still disconnects, I am not sure what is wrong.. still working on fixing it.
 
Have you been to the dell support site for your model and see if they have any update drivers for it.

Drivers
BIOS
Software Packs
Pay attention for WiFi and Wired drivers. Grab those.
When last did you run Windows Update
When last did you clean out your system (JetClean and System Ninja)?

Laptop gets hot invest in a laptop lap fan if you place the laptop on your lap, but in any case you want to keep that cool.

On your WiFi Router make sure you have the latest firmware for it. Also do a reboot on it not a reset. Or you can power it off and on. Same with your modem. Wait say 30 seconds then turn them back on. Same with your laptop too.
