We took into account this post:

even though it does not make mention of wireless access points, however, we tried moving our WAP around some and it seemed to have worked. for now at least. It appears to be some sort of combination issue between our WAP's location (even though we can see it from our desks) and having the USB 3.0 docking station plugged into our laptop. It's like it's creating the exact "perfection conditions" to cause the connection to drop.
So if anyone else runs into this issue, try to relocate your WAP and give it a try.
