My s3 951 ultrabook with win 8 pro works fine on the internet, if I shut it down or close the lid, it can't re-detect the wireless network on startup.   I use network genie to fix it and it resets the adapter and all is fine, but everytime is getting annoying.  I went into device manager and unchecked the box that allow the computer to turn off the adapter to save battery, but that didn't help. I've updated the driver and actually removed it from device manager and had the system reload it w/o benefit...can anyone help?

Go into your power settings by right clicking the batter icon by your time and date from the desktop. Right click and select power options. Click on change plan settings by by power saver. Click on change advanced power settings. Click the plus next to wireless adapter settings, and click the plus next to power saving mode. Next change everything to maximum performance. That should solve your issue. Also do the above steps for the balanced profile and any other profile you have. The computer is putting the wireless adapter to sleep. I would also suggest you uninstall the driver for the atheros wifi adapter from programs and settings under the control panel. Restart the computer. Reinstall the updated drivers you download from acers drivers page. Then do the above. Should fix your problem. It fixed mine!!!
