Hi friends,

Due to frequent intermittent disconnections nowadays, if the power is gone for more than 5 mins, my wireless adapter does not connect to the router once it is restarted. Basically the adapter doesn't glow anymore. I think system puts it in standby or something.

I was researching on this and someone at a forum suggested that i can try unchecking "Allow computer to turn off device to save power" under Devicemanager->Universal serial bus controllers. I am confused as to which of the ports my Adapter belongs to. Below is the screenshot.

you are looking in the wrong place.it is usb wifi adapter meaning in the end it is a network adapter which runs on usb so it will be listed under network adapters.

Network and Sharing Center” and from there click “Change adapter settings”

Right click your WiFi adapter -> click Properties -> click Configure -> click Power Management

Uncheck the box “Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power”. That should do the job.
