Wireless Network Connection periodically becomes unresponsive.

Wireless Network Connection periodically becomes unresponsive.

This usually happens after one or two hour's use. Since I haven't been able to find a corresponding process in the task manager (at least not one I'm comfortable trying)I have to restart the whole system in order to get my connection back which is, to say the least, very frustrating.

"Low battery power

will cause loss of wireless connections... If you are using the battery only this could be it. Check your cycles on the battery, it may need replacing.

If this answer is acceptable please return and mark it.

Good Luck,

I have the same computer doing the same thing in my house. All other computers work fine on wireless. Mine is also a refurb. Very frustrating. On a few different occasions, it just stopped the connection for no reason. I never changed the settings.

"As a temporary fix until this is resolved, there is a way you can re-enable your internet connection without restarting the computer, which might help you.

You should have an icon in your task bar in the bottom right for your wireless internet signal. You should be able to right click on that, and choose to Enable the wireless adapter again (assuming it has been Disabled).

If this option is not present, you should be able to open My Computer / My Documents, and somewhere on the left should be a quick link to View Network Connections. From there you will be able to right click on your Wireless Adapter, and choose to Enable it again."
