Wifi problem plz help!!!!!!!!!!?

Question

I have an hp laptop(dv6636nr,vista home premium) and i have a wifi network for internet.I lose my internet whenever i wake my computer from sleep,hibernation or lock. The icon in the tray will say local only. Then i ll have to restart to use wifi again. Is there anyway i can solve this. Plz help.

Answer 1

It may be the modem (not the router) setting for 'disconnect if idle for X minutes'.  Reset to 'Always connected'.

With an ethernet cable, connect a compr'  to the 'DSL/internet IN' slot, open a browser window, type in ' 192.168.1.1 ' in the address bar.

Look for the heading/tab for 'Connection' and make this mod there.  

Answer 2

that happens with my macbook laptop...

what most laptops do is when the screen is lyk closed/in sleep mode it disconnects from the wireless to save battery power

where it has the wireless icon u shuld be able to open up the menu wich is right click or something like that (sorry abit rusty with windows lol)

and connect to your wireless routers name such as for a netgear its "NETGEAR" or bt its "BTHomeHub-ah28" and click connect and u shuld be onlne again.

Answer 3
