Wifi issue

[LLckfan]

I was on a laptop a few minutes again when it acted like the internet went out. Then said no connections(I looked at a tablet and it had connection to the router).I also turned on a desktop and was able to get right online. I just shut down the laptop and restarted. Has connection. Is there anything I can check next time to make sure before having to restart ? and I check the wifi key three times .Windows 7 laptop

What is make/model of laptop? Some have been known to have wifi problems such as some Acers which had a similar issue which was related to a junk wifi.

I have the same problem from time to time.  I never know when it's going to happen. your lucky your comes back after restart. I have an acer (piece of work) You just have to keep restarting in my opinion.  I've gone though the drivers and jumped all the hurdles to fix it but it keeps coming back.

Did you check the power settings in the control panel.
You have to go to the power plan settings.
and then go to the advanced powerplan settings
There you have to click + in wireless adapter settings.
and in there you have to check in power saving mode.
set it to maximum performance and you are good to go.


hope this helps

LLckfan,
 The next time this occurs go into event viewer, and view all critical, error and warning messages on their, copy and paste them to a text file and upload it to this site, I will look over it and see if I can see a reason for the problem.
