When coming out of sleep or hibernation, your wireless network connection might not reconnect if the power options on your wireless adapter are set to a power-saving mode. Here's how to check or change your current power options.

To check or change power options

1. Open Power Options by swiping in from the right edge of the screen, tapping Search (or if you're using a mouse, pointing to the upper-right corner of the screen, moving the mouse pointer down, and then clicking Search), entering Power options in the search box, and tapping or clicking Power options.

2. Next to your current power plan, tap or click Change plan settings, and then tap or click Change advanced power settings.

3. Double-tap or double-click the Wireless Adapter Settings section, and then double-tap or double-click the Power Saving Mode section.

4. If the setting is currently anything other than Maximum Performance, tap or click it, and then select Maximum Performance.
