Hello, as indicated in the title, I have a problem with my Wi-Fi connection.
I have a Neuf Box and a Vaio laptop equipped with Vista, and everything was working well for several months until November. Indeed, since that day, my Wi-Fi connection keeps dropping, and I constantly have to disable and re-enable the Wi-Fi or disconnect and reconnect for it to work. What’s surprising is that Windows finds no issues related to my connection; I have a good signal, the connection doesn’t seem to disconnect, but it's when I use the Internet that the problem becomes apparent. Otherwise, it tells me that I am still connected, even though I can't load a web page. It isn't consistent; sometimes my connection can last an hour, but most often it drops after 2 or 3 minutes.
On the other hand, my PC connects (and stays connected) to other Wi-Fi networks (at other people's houses or at university), and my father's Mac works perfectly fine with the Neuf Box's Wi-Fi.
Could this be related to an automatic update made around November? Or something else?
I’ve tried everything I could regarding reinstalling the network card, configuring the connection, etc.
Does anyone have an idea of where this problem might come from and how to resolve it?
Thank you in advance!
PS: I don't know if this is related, but I have an automatic update that keeps failing to install for a while, and it concerns "SQL Server."

Hi,
some time ago I had the same problem as you ^^
And since then, everything's been great ^^
some time ago I had the same problem as you ^^
- I went to Control Panel / Device Manager (or press Windows+R then
devmgmt.msc
) - I selected my wifi / Properties / unchecked the box: Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power.
And since then, everything's been great ^^

I have the exact same problem and I thank you for the response, but in my control panel, I do not have Device Manager. Can you reply to me if you have any idea? Thank you.
