Windows 7 wireless capability turning off every few minutes
I'm on windows 7 (32bit) on a lenovo x301 laptop. I recently noticed that the wireless internet connection keeps shutting off. The hardware switch is set to "on", but for some reason, the connection keeps getting shut off every few minutes. When you run the connection diagnostics utility, it turns the connection back on, but it shuts off again a few minutes later. I've tried installing the latest hardware driver for the wireless card, but that doesn't seem to have helped. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Art

Check your Power Options to see when the wireless device is being turned off. Set it to Never if you want it to stay on always.
