Is there a quick way to manually reset the wireless network adapter?

My wireless network adapter often does not "wake up" when I start my computer from the sleep mode.  Windows 10 troubleshooter has been able to wake the adapter up but it takes some time.  I'd sure appreciate a fix for it not waking up or a quick way to wake it up manually.  I have an Aspire E5-523-97JY Model No N16Q3 Mfg Date:2016/07/07.

2. Right-click the wireless card under “Network Adapters” and then click uninstall.
3.

   Navigate to the “Driver” tab, then click “Uninstall.” A pop-up will appear asking you to confirm your choice.

But how ever. the below steps can fix the issue. 

1. Press Windows logo key on the keyboard, type Power Options and select the top most search result.
2. Click on Change when the computer sleeps option from the left side panel of the window and click on Change advanced power settings.
3. Expand Sleep>Sleep after and choose Never from the drop down bar.
4. Click on Apply and OK after setting the time.
5. Close the window and check if the changes are effective.
