Resetting Network Adapter

While I have read several suggestions for resetting the network adapter, they all involve rebooting the PC. I am wondering why the Windows Network and Internet troubleshooter doesn't reboot after resetting the adapter? Whatever it does appears (mostly) to solve my network connection issues and a solution that doean't involve rebooting would be an improvement.

Constantly need to reset wireless network adapter

So, within the past 2 weeks my Lenovo laptop has developed a case of constantly needing to reset the wi-fi adapter. I've searched various help forums and have already:

• Confirmed my drivers are up to date
• Changed my power management settings
• Confirmed my wi-fi
  autoconfig service is set to automatic
• Experienced this problem on multiple networks

Nevertheless, I still am dropping off the network, any network, every few minutes.
