[Technology] Wifi disconnects when laptop in sleep

[Rugrat]

I've googled this but have got a load of different responses, some of which look way to difficult!

I have two laptops running Windows 10 and on one when I shut the lid or the screen goes to sleep when I open lid or hit a key to wake up the Wi Fi is disconnected. I can wait 30-40 sec's and it will reconnect but I'm impatient and so I manually reconnect once it finds the router.

My other one stays connected all the time but I can't see anything in settings that is making them behave differently

Any help appreciated

PS: I tried turning on and off again

Dodgy WiFi card perhaps. Killer WiFi cards were having these kinds of problems. Have you specifically Googled your WiFi card?

Click Windows button > type "Device Manager" hit enter.

Under network adaptors tab looks for "Dual Band Wifi" (may not be dual band)
Right click and uninstall driver

The driver will re install itself and should sort your issue out.

If not, wifi card/adaptor needs replacing.

I read that as Wilf and wondered what Mr Tumble was doing with a laptop.

Yea and that. Been a long day. Started with leaving key inside house when in a rush to leave this morning and as snow balled. I won't bore you with the details.
