SOLVED loss of wifi after sleep mode

[jimlau]

title says it. every time I turn on the computer, my wifi is always there. when I come back from sleep mode, it is not. no wifi options are available in the network section.

it is not signal strength. I had a slight USB issue, but as I said, I always get wifi when I turn it on, so seems any USB issue would show up when I boot either way..

any idea why this is? is the power surge to the USB ports the same whether you boot from off versus from sleep? is coming back from sleep different somehow than powering up from off?

thanks.

Open Device Manager
Expand network adapters
Right click the problem adapter(s)
Choose properties
Select the Power Management tab from along the top
Uncheck the box that says something about "Allow computer to turn off this device to save power"
If it is a USB connected wifi dongle then do the same for your USB Root Hub(s).
AND
You may also want to examine your advance power option settings with respect to anything USB or Wireless related.
