    Windows 10 Wifi is not connecting automatically after a modem rebooting too long

    We have a newer modem. It takes 2+ minutes for the modem to reboot.

    Wifi is connecting for the 1st minute and then since internet is not back yet it's giving up.

    Action needed message is appearing by the time the modem is completely back with Internet.

    I don't have problems with this modem on Macs or smartphones. Only Windows 10 devices are giving up and not getting connected because of the long rebooting time. If i restart the device while modem is on, wifi is automatically hooks up. Only when modem is
    getting rebooted issue appears.

    How can I extend the connecting to wifi time?

    Please help

    Thank you

    Connecting Wifi to modem

    Hello.

    I am Trying to connect a Dell XPS 10 Tablet running windows rt to my modem but keep getting a authentication error and will not connect.

    i have reset all settings on my modem to factory,have uninstalled the driver for the network adapter and reinstalled but still nothing.

    I am successful at connection the tablet to my smart phone using tethering with no problems at all.

    the smart phone is connected to the wifi coming from the modem.

    I must be missing a step somewhere and can not figure it out.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  4. my laptop always requires me to reboot modem in order to connect to wifi

    Phone won't connect if I change wifi password

    Done. Rebooted both phone and modem but nothing.

    Thing is, I just returned from work and the phone connects normally to the work wifi.
    It's to the one at home which it doesn't connect.

    On the other hand, I have several devices connect to the home wifi without any problem...
    So I'm not sure if it's a phone or a modem problem now.
