    On my Windows 7 PC I am having an issue with Internet connection dropping out.

    All areas have been checked including provider, modem, router & cables.

    It's none of the above so I was looking at my network adapter properties and it is set to "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power"

    Every time I untic that option it gets turned on again after every restart.

    How can I get this option to remain off?

    Thanks for the reply but it has not sorted the issue,

    After following your suggestions it still reverts to on everytime I restart?

    is it ethernet or wifi? if its wifi it has its own options in Windows Control Panel/Power Options, try setting it to Maximum Performance

    Ignoring idiots who comment "far right" because they don't even know what it means

    No, It's IP4 wired.
