    Internet drops out if computer is not connected to power


    Hi all,

    My internet drops out if the computer is not connected to power.

    Running the trouble shooter suggests that an ethernet cable is unplugged.

    But I am connected to wifi?

    :)

    I had already tried this and it did not work. I did find an updated driver for my adapter (Realtek) and so far no more problems. Thanks for the suggestion!

    You may want to check that the computer is not putting the Network Adapter to sleep:

    Use the following steps to open Device Manager:

    1. Type Control Panel in the search box.
    2. Click Control Panel.
    3. Click Device Manager.

      Right-click the network adapter(that keeps getting turned off), and select Properties.

      Go to the Power Management Tab> uncheck the option that says “Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power”, and press OK.

    2. Win+X->Control Panel->Netwok and Sharing Center
      Follow the screen shot. This should disable internet access from this PC but allows access to local device(s)
      NOTE: Use the IP & Subnet Mask from step 1. Leave Default gateway & DNS Server blank
