Everytime my laptop goes to sleep or powered down it does not re-connect to the wifi.

I realize that every time my laptop goes to sleep or powered down it does not reconnect to the wifi.  In order to get wifi, I have to do a network reset, which is crazy.  I reset the pc but when it was reinstalled, it did not go back to the factory settings, I have the same problem.  I even delete the d-drive (recovery drive) and still the same problem.
