WiFi keeps disabling itself
WiFi keeps disabling itself
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?

Which model? what wifi chipset? How long has this been 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.RealBlackStuff wrote:Go into Control Panel/Device Manager/Network Adapters and right-click on your wifi card.
