Windows 10 No Internet

Windows 10 No Internet

When my Win 10 PC starts up from standby, the wireless connection shows Connected, but no Internet.

To get an Internet connection, I must disconnect and reconnect using the wireless icon in the tray.

Is there a fix? 

 

I'm running latest Orbi firmware.

Re: Windows 10 No Internet

My Windows 10 laptop connects to the Orbi every time it wakes up.  I suspect the solution is on the laptop, not on the Orbi.

As @CrimpOn says, this smells more like a laptop thing than the router.

 

Sometimes Windows will turn off devices to save power. Maybe it is turning off your wifi chip, or the USB device that you use to connect.

 

If you negotiate to the "Properties" of your wifi device, go to the "Configure" bit then "Power Management":

Let us know if that doesn't work.
