Re: [connectivity] Need to reset my network adapter at least oncWith no idea as to what Operating Software you are using my suggestion will have to remain a little vague.
Locate the control panel or place where you can set power saving settings in your OS and verify that the interface in question has been set to always remain on and not to power down or go to sleep after a set period of inactivity.
On most systems making the change in the power saving settings of the OS will take care of this but there are some motherboards with built in interfaces that have BIOS settings to also control if the interface is to be powered off to save energy. Those settings, if your system has a built in interface, might also need to be changed.
The above can hold true for both wired or wireless Ethernet adapters.
The problem could also be at your router and not your PC. Not as common but moving a PC to a different Ethernet port or just defaulting the router to factory settings and configuring it all over again can clear up problems similar to what you describe.
Next time the problem occurs try power cycling the router and see if the PC connection returns after it finishes rebooting. That should help identify if the PC interface is going into a terminal sleep style mode or if the problem is possibly router related. |
