Laptop looses Wi-fi connection after afk:ing

[flashp0st]

Hi!

I put my bot on (Honorbuddy - Bgbuddy and Arelog), I go to sleep, I wake up, I see the bot has been going on for about one hour then randomly it has lost connection to the internet. I dont know if its the bot/relogger that is wrong with but I have a slight clue that my laptop is shutting my wifi off after a X amount of time.

Arelog says this: Internet connection died. Waiting for a valid connection before restarting.

Anyone having this problem or know how to fix it?

Check the energy saving options on the lappie

Check your :
power settings, hard drive/graphics drivers shutdown, screen saver password, crappy ISP. These are a few ideas, most likely power settings is my guess.

How do I check my harddricke/graphics drivers shutdown? I've already checked the basic power saving stuff and that is okay.

 

[thephoenix25]

depends on your OS. Normally in power saving options "shut down hard drives" "shut down monitors" after X amount of time

Alright, I have Windows 7. Changed the settings now, hope it will fix. But there were no power saving setting for the wifi ? Is there anywhere else that is or isnt viewable/changable?

Not sure If this will be any help, but If you go to 'Device Manager' > Click your WiFi Adapter > Power Management > untick 'Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power' (assuming it's already ticked)

Again, Ive never even used that option in my life, so I might not be any help

Worth a shot to assist tho

Turn off all power saving options, if you plan to sleep with pc in the room, set screen saver to blank screen (with no password), and use ARelog. Should fix it.

Am not familiar with W7, but to the best of my knowledge, wifi should not be effected by any power saving options.

I agree, I've never had any wifi problems from power options, unless, well, If I close my lid, which puts it into a sleep mode, disconnects it and such, If that's your problem, you just need to change the action upon closing it.
