Had that happen before but fixed it

Mine would disconnect every time I shut my computer.

Try this:

n the Device Manager window, expand Network Adapters and look for your WiFi driver, do a right click over it, select Properties. 3. In the property sheet, switch to Power Management tab and uncheck the option Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power. Click OK.

Please save my marriage. A week or so ago I replaced our wireless router. -- Galenahokie 07/07/2017 08:59AM

Time to upgrade to the Eero? -- EDGEMAN 07/07/2017 5:15PM

Probably not it but short IP address expiration? -- pburg_hokie 07/07/2017 11:51AM

Good thought especially with Windows 7 ** -- 76 B210 07/07/2017 1:51PM

When you say turning off the WiFi, what do you mean? -- jmanatVT 07/07/2017 11:32AM

How old is the laptop, and what version of OS are you running? ** -- EDGEMAN 07/07/2017 10:40AM

Probably 5 0r 6 years old, Windows 7 ** -- Galenahokie 07/07/2017 10:45AM

Marriage is highly overrated anyway ** -- Hokie Koooster 07/07/2017 10:23AM

By whom? ** -- vt90 07/07/2017 10:37AM

All men & all the divorced females so approximately 75% of the population. -- Hoakie82 07/07/2017 11:35AM

So that's the trick. ** -- 48zip 07/07/2017 10:15AM

Buy a Mac ** -- reestuart 07/07/2017 10:00AM

At last, a serious reply. However, already tried that, but thanks ** -- Galenahokie 07/07/2017 09:35AM

Put the old one back and see if the problem persists. If not you've ruled -- Brown Water 07/07/2017 09:37AM

Could be a configuration issue too. ** -- jmanatVT 07/07/2017 11:33AM

Turn off the sex robot. They have potential problems. ** -- Hokie360 07/07/2017 09:31AM

My advice to you is to start drinking heavily ** -- Brown Water 07/07/2017 09:18AM

Dude... ** -- HokieMacDaddy 07/07/2017 09:14AM

Blatant violation ** -- CPRVHokie 07/07/2017 09:16AM

Well, so much for that ** -- Galenahokie 07/07/2017 09:15AM

She needs servicing. ** -- Guy LeDouche 07/07/2017 09:13AM

Easier to replace a wife than a router IMHO. ** -- vt90 07/07/2017 09:02AM

Router? I hardly know her. ** -- `lag 07/07/2017 10:55AM

More expensive, though ** -- WestyHokie 07/07/2017 09:44AM

Like Sands through the hourglass..... ** -- bigbadbird 07/07/2017 09:01AM
