![]() Sometimes (about once a week) this doesn't work, and I have to go into Device Manager and disable and enable on the 1538 Driver tab. Usually I can fix this by clicking the button labeled "Fix connection problems", or by turning wifi off and on in the charms bar. When I launch the browser to any web site, I get "This page can't be displayed". In the morning after the wifi fails, the wifi connection usually still shows the status "Connected," but sometimes (about 1/3 of the mornings) it shows "Limited." But the functionality is equally lacking either way. I can tell this is the case because my overnight backup program fails to run at 1am. If I do not leave anything running, the wifi adapter reliably goes into a coma within 3 hours. I think this is because Google News refreshes itself every few minutes so it exercises the wifi connection. If I leave Google News running all night, then the wireless does not go into a coma. I have my 5130 set so it never goes to sleep, but the screen turns off after 30 minutes idle. ![]() I found an easy way to duplicate the problem or to avoid it. The power state is D0 also when the wireless adapter is working, so I am not sure this tells us anything. I reproduced the problem for you so I could check the Current Power State.
