My experiences are hyper-similar to this guy: Windows 10 disconnects network when locking pc.
My Acer E5-575-52jf laptop running Windows 10 build 1703 with the Atheros QCA9377 wireless chipset spontaneously disconnects from every wireless network I have tried using when waking up from me locking it by closing the screen.
The network connection icon in the notification center shows the status as disconnected, and it has to reconnect, usually within a few seconds, but that is enough to have disrupted every pending network action I have going at the time.
I have already tried a few things to "repair" the issue:
- Unchecking the power management setting within the Network Adapter Properties dialog
- Install a newer WiFi driver from the Acer Website and "look for a newer driver online" from Device Manager (To no avail, as the newest device driver is already installed)
I am at a loss for what I can try to do next. Please share any ideas you may have. Thanks in advance.
