Thinkpads Forum

First, the adapter question:
I use my T410S' built-in WiFi plus have a USB760 wireless modem (Verizon) that I use in places where I have no free WiFi access. Device Manager shows the three adapters below. Which should be enabled?
Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6250 AGN
Intel Centrino Advanced WiMAX 6250
Microsoft Virtual WiFI Miniport Adapter

Secondly the access question:
When ever my computer sleeps or hibernates, the WiFi is disconnected and has to reconnect when I wake it. This is very frustrating mostly because I have it set to sleep frequently when running on battery power. Can I fix it to stay connected. I have unchecked the Power Management boxes for both Centrino adapters that allow the computer to turn off the device to save power.

Thanks in advance.

Adapter - you'd want to enable the 6250 AGN. Wimax is not needed since you use the USB760 wireless modem. The Microsoft Virtual WiFI Miniport Adapter lets you connect to more then one wireless network at a time. So, if you do not have a need to do that then you don't have to enable it.
