Power Management – Don’t let it disconnect your internet
I had a question submitted to me from a website visitor that brought this problem to mind. Sometimes Power management on your computer will, whether a laptop or not, try after a period of inactivity to shut off your wireless or your wired network adapter to save power.
The problem I have seen is that many times only a reboot will bring your network adapter back online. This is worse yet if you don’t know that this is what’s happening.
Therefore, I prefer to go into device manager, right click the network adapters and on the power management tab, uncheck “allow the computer to turn off this device to save power”.
Might save a headache or two.
