With Window 10 auto-connect to orbi, no wifi seen after reboot at other locations
(Problem and a Circumvention , to save someone else a month of trial & error) ISSUE: On Windows 10 (@ Feature level 1909 w Cumulative updates up to 2020-03) on a laptop (lenovo Thinkpad E570, Intel...
Thanks for the insight. There may be another "wrinkle" in this setup, with the dual boot. I doubt very many Lenovo customers set up their ThinkPad's that way. The Lenovo was actually "booted" at the remote location, not hibernating or sleeping?
Definitely was a normal shutdown and power off of the laptop, not hibernation or sleeping.state.
With dual-boot I never know for sure whether I might want Win 10 or Linux next time. I tend to use Linux more and at least in the past Linux handling of hibernation/sleeping state was problematic, so I have long been in the habit of doing a normal shutdown and powerdown before putting the laptop away.
The problem occurred on 3 different days while I was trying out various solutions, thinking it was fixed and finding out not, before finally hitting on a combination that has so far worked every time since.
Make sure your laptops wifi drivers are up to date.
I have no problems with my Windows 10 work laptop connecting to Orbi with Auto-reconnect enabled. However the LT isn't dual boot.
I agree that this has to be an issue with your laptop. I have multiple Windows laptops and have no issues connecting to WiFi on my homes Orbi and other WiFi hotspots.
I suggest uninstalling the WiFi drivers on your Windows 10 and then reinstalling them. If you continue to have issues, then I suggest going to a Windows 10 or Lenovo web forum for support.
