    Windows 7 Laptop Can't Find Network After Sleeping


    I have a Dell Latitude E7450 running Windows 7, 64 bit, which works fine. Except...

    Whenever I put it to sleep, on waking, it cannot find any WiFi network. I constantly move between my office and home, and each time I do, I have to reboot so that I can find the network.

    If I actually physically plug it into the network, it works fine, but it can't find any WiFi network at all - just endlessly thinks about it and fails to find anything.

    According to some searching, try toggling the option to "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" in Device Manager - Wireless adapter properties - power management

I changed the setting to not sleep when I close the lid while plugged in, however whenever I do press the sleep button on the start menu and close the lid, the laptop boots up again. Would this be a windows error that needs re installation, or is it a hardware issue? Thanks in advance
