Hi Diego, I did a clean install last week. I wanted to give it time to see if the prob;em has been solved.

All was good until this AM. PFA screen shot. Usually the issue was reset adapter, this time it was default gateway.

I believe my power saving settings are correct, but my battery will inadvertently stop charging. (plugged in, not charging)

I shut down, drain the the battery (integrated) and plug-in to ac adapter. This fixes the charging issue temporarily. Not sure if this is related??

Appreciate your help.

[PReag]

Hi Diego, give this a couple of days...I just unchecked power management "allow to turn off"

I forgot to do this after the re-install. With the battery issue, it most likely caused the recent disconnect.

Thx again for all your help!

[PReag]

Hi Diego,

After I did the clean re-install. It was fine for a approx one week.

Now it's happening daily, several times per day.

Any suggestions?

[PReag]

Are you still engaged with me on this issue?

Hi Diego, I have reinstalled the adapter twice now. It was OK for a week, but the last two days it disconnects every 5 minutes or so. Very Frustrated!!
