Firstly on my router under my wireless settings it's currently on the 72 mbps mode. I have the option to change it to 150 mbps and wondering which mode is better?
Secondly, I recently changed on my router the wireless channel so that it didn't conflict with other people's routers in my neighborhood. It seems like since I started messing around with the router settings and such now every time I start my computer in the morning it's not connecting to the wireless automatically even though there is a checkmark in connect automatically. When I right click and troubleshoot/diagnose the connection I get the message saying, "Problem with wireless adapter or access point ... Fixed", yet every morning it's the same deal and it's only "fixed" temporarily until I shut the computer down for the night and turn it on the next morning. Once it is "fixed" for the day it's fine all day...even when I restart the computer it pops back on and is connected just fine.
I have my computer updated fully threw windows update but I also went a step further and went into device manager and right clicked the network adapter and searched for an updated driver which it downloaded and was able to install. Still though it didn't fix the problem at all. Every morning having to troubleshoot/diagnose the connection just to get online for the day.
I ended up uninstalling and deleting the newest driver installed and installing the original driver from my computer's manufacture page. Still needing help as I'm sure it's going to keep happening and still being a problem for me. This might be a slow troubleshoot however if I have to wait til the next morning to see if it's going to connect automatically on computer startup or not.
EDIT: Just now I went in the device properties and power management and turned off the computer allowing the device to go to sleep. I'm thinking this isn't the problem though because on the computers first boot of the day why would the network card be sleeping? Should it just be waking up on first boot?
