Is there a way I can force it to refresh the network list every few seconds to prevent it from idling Bit of a hack, but Id settle for that.
I even tried toggling these on and back off just in case they were bugged.
I had assumed it was some kind of power saving feature.īut I double checked every network related device in Device Manager and the Allow windows to turn off this device feature is unchecked, as is the wireless state management feature in Windows power settings (set to Maximum Performance).
However, if I click on the connection icon on the system tray, it will pull up the list of available WiFi networks, and for a moment it will only show my (currently connected) network, but after a second it will populate with the other networks in range (neighbors, etc), and the moment it does, my connection comes back. The connection icon still shows connected, but I get page load errorsconnection errors on games, etc. But now Ive still got an issue that has been plaguing me since the beginning.īasically if my connection goes idle even for a moment (meaning nothing downloading, no pages loading, etc), I frequently and suddenly become unable to connect to anything.
