Anomalous WiFi Reconnection


Thanks, Bree.

I just discovered more oddness: I woke the computer to check something, only to find that WiFi was again disconnected. Reconnected with the manual setting, put back to sleep, and upon reawakening, again disconnected. Changed to connect automatically, which, unlike yesterday, worked, so put back to sleep, and upon reawakening, WiFi reconnected. It appears that whatever the problem was yesterday, using manual connect went to the location of the stored password, and put that password back wherever it needs to be for WiFi to reconnect automatically.

Odd, that, but so is it all probably due to the snow flurries we are getting now, with the promise (threat?) of two to four inches of new snow tomorrow; at least we are not likely to see the 6" to 18" now forecast for the northeastern New Mexico mountains starting around midnight tonight.

 

Laptop keeps disconnecting from wifi, have to restart to reconnect

It's actually the opposite problem to that; the wifi will disconnect while I'm using the laptop and restarting it or putting it to sleep and waking it back up again will reconnect it.

 

Anomalous WiFi Reconnection


Wondering what (if anything) this was about: WiFi disconnected on wife's computer.

1. Checked, WiFi itself working.
2. Ran Network Trouble Shooter, which usually fixes such problems; failed.
3. Ran Hardware Trouble Shooter, nothing found.
4. Checked Wireless Card in Device Manager; indicated as working properly.
5. Restarted computer; still no WiFi.
6. Although Notification icon was black, clicked on it to see if anything there, found that the WiFi network was "Secured." Clicked on that, saw that it was set to connect automatically, clicked on that, failed. Tried once more, failed, so deselected automatic connection, clicked again, and WiFi was reconnect instantaneously.

I think that that covers most, if not all of the steps I took to fix the problem. Any idea as to what caused this, and as to why non-automatic reconnect worked without even asking for the router's password?
