In the device manager go to network adapters, you should see your wireless card and probably the ethernet controller as well. Right click on the wireless card go to properties then power management.[...]

Hope that helps!
Hey... Kate!

You do not like Eight?

My dad bought it and then kept asking me how to do things. Until I could get past the new menu I felt clueless.

Well, I right-clicked on my wireless icon, opened Network and Sharing Center, Changed Adapter Settings, right-clicked on my adapter, selected Properties, hit [Okay], selected Configure, Power Management, and unchecked "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power."

It seemed really simple before I decided to describe it...

Thank you so much! I guess that this was only a problem after I temporarily switched to battery-saving mode!

Please enjoy your day!
