Windows 10: WiFi disconnects when I close lid

Hi,


I've been having this problem where I close y laptop's lid, and when I go back to open it again, the WiFi is always disconnected and I always have to wait for it to connect again. I have tried many ways to prevent this (Disabling "Allow computer to turn off this device to save power", Disabling "USB selective suspend setting"). Is there any way to actually prevent this?

WiFi disconnection /download speed reaches 0 upon lid close


Hey Everyone!

I have a HP pavilion ab221tx laptop. The wifi chipset inside it is a realtek rtl8723BE. I am noticing that download speeds immediately reach zero upon lid close & may be the laptop's wifi also disconnects. By the time I open the lid and the display turns on,the wifi would have got connected.

I googled a lot but was unable to figure out if it's an OS issue/os build issue/setting issue.

I have tried things like
*reintalling the driver from oem site & also updating it
*disabling power saving options of the wifi adapter".
*tweaking advanced settings in power plans (ensured wireless adapter performance is set to maximum in all power plans)


I am facing this issue since the last three days. I remember installing certain apps like PC Remote(Beta) & WIN-Remote Control, which enable you to make your android smartphone's touchscreen act like a laptop's touchpad. While doing this , I came across an article where they suggested to enable "wake on magic packet" in the advanced tab of LAN adapter properties. I just went there to check if it was enabled or not but I found it to be enabled (ideal setting as suggested). Thereafter I had changed none of the settings.

I have since uninstalled all those "pc control softwares/ reinstalled those wifi and lan adapters/re-enabled maximum performance of the network adapter in power plans/disabled sleep "do nothing" on lid close & re-unchecked allow the computer to turn off this device to save power but still face this wifi disconnection issue upon lid close. I really do not understand what went wrong!

Is it likely that these softwares would have caused the issue? How can I fix it?

 

Surface Book with Windows 10 - Wifi disconnects when lid is closed

I have the i7 Surface Book (8GB/256GB), and have this same problem.

WiFi is set to stay on during sleep, and the Surface Book is set to stay on when the lid is closed and running on mains power.

I have a strong signal and am 4 metres from my router. Once the lid is closed, first the WiFi says there is no internet connectivity and then after another few seconds it disconnects entirely.

On the network list the signal is still full, however it asks me for my password and never connects while the lid is closed.

Open the lid again, and it reconnects and everything is fine. For now it sits open on my desk, but I bought this to use as a desktop most of the time and this is not how it should be functioning.

I would appreciate some help with this. It happens every time I try this, and is souring an otherwise great user experience.

 

Surface Book with Windows 10 - Wifi disconnects when lid is closed

When I have the lid of my Surface Book open (while connected to an external monitor) I can connect to wifi. When I close the lid of my Surface Book wifi disconnects. My power settings are set to "Do
Nothing" when the lid is closed (both on battery and plugged in). I am on the latest version of all firmware/updates.
