Hello All,

so my "ASUS PCE-N15 11n Wireless LAN PCI-E Card" keeps disconnecting and then when i try and connect again it says it can't connect to this network. it can still detect the other connections nearby and this is the only pc in the house that's being unruly. I've gone to device manager and enabled and disabled, which helped once. this time around i've uninstalled and restarted, which worked, but I'm wondering why it's doing this? seems to do it once the computer goes to sleep or is turned off.

The #1 most common issue is WiFi drivers.  Try hunting for a WiFi driver update.

Another common issue is drivers that don't handle power savings properly.  Try the below commands from an administrative command prompt to set the WiFi NIC to "maximum performance" mode, disabling power saving on it.
