Wifi keeps disconnecting while folding

Post by Narylfiel »

Hello everyone! I started folding yesterday and everything was ok. However today I noticed that my laptop kept disconnecting from the wifi while folding and after a while it couldn't find my home network at all. As soon as I quit f@h, everything's fine again. I've already checked the firewall, what else might be going wrong?

We have received one other report of this happening, I don't recall a cause being found. Best guess so far is lack of power while folding is running so the laptop turns off wifi.

Someone else might have an idea on this, what make and model laptop is this occurring on?

It's an ASUS N552VX, and it's connected to power. WiFi is still switched on, it just doesn't even show my home network on the list. I'm still listed as online on the Advanced Control.

Most commonly it is a problem with your power settings. Here are some tips from ExtremeRain.
