Network connection does not wake up when PC does
Firefox stops working several times a day & cannot access websites. PC is connected via Ethernet to the modem/router. I get a message website cannot be found. I called the ISP a couple times & they indicate that I am connected to the internet. My other PC does connect & so do wireless devices.
Firefox will not completely close & let me run it again. Task Manager lets me remove all but one occurrence of FF, which prevents me from running another copy of it.
I end up restarting the PC several times a day to get connected again.
All this started happening after I tried a USB wireless adapter & installed its driver & Cisco software that got installed with the driver. I have uninstalled all this & updated the wired network adapter driver.
I tried to restore Windows back to an earlier date a couple times but a message said the restore was not successful.
I set the PC to never go to sleep & so far that works.
I did try changing some Device Manage > controller properties to match my other PC but that didn’t help. Is there some place in the registry that I should look at & change?
Thanks
