My laptop constantly needs to reconnect to wifi? - Hello - 05-21-2014 03:45 AM I have an older laptop that is a dell studio. It is running windows vista. Every time I turn it off or even let it sleep it disconnects from the wifi. I'll start the computer up and it will try to connect but all it says is "identifying" for awhile so then I have to manually go in and disconnect and connect again. I clicked on the wireless name and clicked properties. Everything is checked regarding connect automatically. Btw my boyfriend has an alienware computer and it never has this issue so I know it's not my internet its the computer. - marz - 05-21-2014 03:58 AM Check these websites: http://digitalunite.com/guides/using-internet-0/connecting-internet/how-connect-wifi and http://superuser.com/questions/88672/make-windows-forget-a-network-connection-password Hope that helps - Gary - 05-21-2014 04:13 AM Mine does same and have to disconnect and connect again every day but no big issue, just the trials of life. - Dell Inc. - 05-21-2014 04:14 AM Hi, I am Kaveri from the Dell Social Media Outreach team.
