What happens after waking from sleep is that the LAN connection ends up at 10Mbps, it says that there's no network connection, and a 169.x.x.x IP address is assigned.Ī reboot fixes the issue but I would prefer that the system works as it should rather than settling for a fix. If the latter, then I need to power recycle my network access point to restore.
However, I will lose it again the next time the computer goes to sleep. What I've found is to disable power management but that doesn't seem to help. When using the laptop after sleep mode, the network access is: a) slow to restore (60 seconds), b) requires manual reconnecting, c) only comes back at half the signal strength or, d) tells me that Windows is unable to reconnect to my network. Every time my laptop goes to sleep, I lose my internet connection (the icon shows that there are no connections available.) I can solve it temporarily by going to my computer>manage>adaptor settings and uninstalling, then reinstalling my connection. From my searches, it appears like it could be either. While sleeping a computer draws a small amount of power to keep its memory state (RAM) active, while cutting power to the processor, storage, network interfaces. Since it's my first Windows 10 computers and my first of this model of laptop (HP ProBook 650 G2), I'm not sure if the issue is hardware related, Windows 10 driver related, or a combination of the two. I've just purchased my first two Windows 10 laptops (we're Windows 7 everywhere else) and I'm running into some issues with waking from sleep and the wired network is not reconnecting.
