No Wifi after standby

[davegx]

@Davegx - Realtek has the driver for you on their website, dated July 5, 2011. It should do very well. 8192SE

Realtek

If for some reason it doesn't install well, check the .inf for your hardware id to be present. If it is not, try with one of the 8191 downloads.

Thanks. I checked and mine is in there. So im not sure what the problem is. Ill have to hold out for a while. At least it works, itd just be nice if I didnt have to run the troubleshooter to get it working out of standby. Perhaps Ill just skip standby from now on since the computer boots at a decent speed.

Any idea how to manually reset the adapter without waiting for troubleshooter to detect problems?

Yes, you can use Device Manager to disable then re-enable the driver.

Maybe we can figure out how to really fix it though. What does the troubleshooter say the problem is while it fixes it?

In services.msc, you can try disabling the DNS Client service, then rebooting. I do this on all my installs anyhow. If it works for you, then I can also show you how to set the fastest DNS server to use for your network.

It says something like "Problem with network adapter" and "Problem with network adapter driver".

 

[GMan]

I hear that. If you click on advanced, or something else during the process near the end (I forget) - it tells you the changes it made. If I knew what they were, I might have some suggestions to set it so that the changes can be be made permanently.

Here are some screenshots

 

[GMan]

Reset the network stack. Run each command one at a time, pressing Enter after each, in an elevated command prompt (Admin).

netsh winsock reset

netsh interface ipv4 reset

Restart after.

If you have any 3rd party security tools installed like a firewall or antivirus, that can cause the issue.

 

[matejdro]

Problem is already solved by just restarting, so there is no need for additional commands before restart. Unless those commands could reset it without restarting.

Disabling/enabling with device manager does not help.

I haven't needed this in a long time, or helped on forums in quite a while either until recently again. Now that I think about it, this is probably the correct way to reset the network ip stack in Windows Vista and onward, so this is how you should do:

Damn, this is happening even with my wired connection on my desktop now. WTH. So friggin annoying. Was fine for days and days then now everytime I come back from "sleep" i have to run the stupid troubleshooter, just like my laptop did.

Did you install any kind of 3rd party security on these machines whatsoever? If so, likely culprit.

You could also try simply rebooting your router. Stranger things have happened. Update its firmware to newest is good too.

Havent installed any 3rd part security programs. Have reset router but I may try just bypassing it, putting computer to sleep, then see what happens. I guess the router could be a possible cause but Ive not seen this happen till just the other day on my wired ethernet when ive been running Win CP for nearly a month now.

 

[davegx]

Still does it bypassing the router. I have Realtek on my desktop like I did on my laptop. Guess its a Realtek problem, but I dont understand why it started occurring all of a sudden.

 

[matejdro]

Installed drivers form this thread and reseted IP stack.

Problem improved (now it connects and stays at limited instead of not detecting networks), but otherwise it stays. I still have to run troubleshooter or reboot. Troubleshooter gives me same error than before.

I have ESET Smart Security which installs its stuff into network adapter, but it worked without any problems on Win7 on same laptop.

If you have VirtualBox(or a VM using the internet) installed goto Adapter Settings -> Right-Click Wireless(Or Wired) -> Properties then uncheck the bridge network driver

I too am having this issue. I am using Windows 8 on a Sony Vaio Tap 20. When I wake the computer from sleep mode my wifi signal dies. A workaround is to disconnect the wifi in the settings and reconnect and that helps, but its a PITA. I have downloaded all the sony updates, and checked my router. My iphone and ipad never lose its signal, just my friggin Sony computer, Very annoying.
