Whenever I'm at my office, my WiFi will randomly stop working. It doesn't disconnect or show a weak signal but pages just stop loading. Every time I click on the wifi icon in the top corner, it typically says it's looking for networks but I'm still connecting to the network that I should be. Turning WiFi off and then back on will fix it instantly. I have to do this typically every 30-90 minutes. I never have this issue at home but I'm also not in range of any networks aside from my own. At the office, there's 3-5 that seem to pop up.

Any ideas how I can resolve this issue?
 
How about interference at the office from other devices using 2.4 Ghz? Copiers and remote phones are famous for causing interference and making the connection drop. If your router at the office is dual band, switch it to the 5 Ghz range unless you're too far away from it. Also, you can try changing channels on your router to see if that helps.
