WiFi keeps disabling itself

#1 Post by phil81uk » Sat Jun 28, 2014 9:59 pm

My Wifi keep disabling itself when it's not being used. I then need to use one of the Fn keys to enable it each time. Is there any way to stop this happening?

Go into Control Panel/Device Manager/Network Adapters and right-click on your wifi card.
Select Properties and click on that.
Select the Power Management tab and click on that.
Now UNtick the "Allow..." options, click on OK and close DM and CP.
That should do it.

Thanks I thought it was something like that. I think Access Connections also had option to disable this but I decided not to install Access Connections this time. It's an X301.
