Reset Network adapter
I have a new E5-771G with a realtek RTL8723BE wireless card. I will every so often come back to my laptop and find that the network connection has been dropped. It says either disconnected or limited. I will try to reconnect to no avail. When I turn off WIFI then turn back on, all is good. No other devices have an issue with the wireless network only the laptop. I have the most up to date driver. I am sure that there is someone else out there that has had this problem, mine was rioght out of the box.

double click on your Realtek adapter
look for a tab labeled Power management
untick allow the computer to turn off.....
Click Ok
close all windows

Ironfly, thanks for the suggestion. Unfortuneately it did not work. Sorry for the long delay but I just got back from 2 weeks holidays in the wilderness so I was away from the laptop and internet. This is frustrating as I will queue up a handfull of downloads to go overnight and when I wakeup they will not be complete. I still have to turn off WIFI, then turn back on. Disconnecting and reconnecting to the the wireless does not solve it. Any other suggestions?
