    Have to reset wireless adapter daily via troubleshoot connection


    I am having an issue with my wireless connection on one of my computers. We run a total of 5 computers on my wireless network and only have the problem on one. After it has been sitting for a while, (usually overnight, it is my home office computer) I lose connection. It will have the icon with the computer screen with a red x over it. When I click on it it turns to bars with a yellow symbol over it. I click on that and it shows available networks. I click to connect to mine and the yellow symbol becomes a blue circle. It stays like that for a few minutes and I then get a cannot connect to network error. I click on trouble shoot, it detects and resets the adapter and it connects. I have already tried unchecking the power saving box in adapter properties and flushing the dns. I also disabled the power shut of in the computer power management. I have tried 3 different adapters and the same problem. So far I have had no issues with disconnect while using the computer. Possibly happens when the comp goes to sleep. I think I will disable sleep mode overnight and see if that helps. Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Can you try disabling USB power saving by following this procedure:

    1. In Power options, click Change advanced power settings.

    2. In the Power Options dialog box, expand USB settings, and then expand USB selective suspend setting.

    3. If you want to enable Windows 7 to turn on the USB root hub when the computer is running on battery power, click Disabled in the On battery list.

    4. If you want to enable Windows 7 to turn on the USB root hub when the computer is plugged in to a power outlet, click Disabled in the Plugged in list, and then click OK.

    Test if the problem still persist.

    I don't like the Sleep and Hibernate functions of Windows. It's a personal preference, but I believe that one might as well shut the computer down overnite. I know that, with laptops, it's easy just to shut the lid and let the system go to sleep, but I'm a big advocate of just shutting down.

    This is not a laptop and I usually just leave it on all the time. It definitely has to do with the sleep function, sat all weekend without going to sleep and no disconnect. I have heard different theories on whether to shut down or not, I guess that would be for another thread. Thank you very much for your reply.

    Often times you can fix this type of problem by only installing the WiFi driver but not the connection software.

    Sometimes you need to go into the driver package to find the actual driver so as to install it without the vendor specific connection software which tends to cause problems with the sleep functionality in Windows.

    I am using the driver only. No connection software, just windows.
