Pavilion dv6 Wireless turning off by itself

[Schanez]

Pavilion dv6 1140ew with Windows 7. Each drivers are up to date. The system was recently reinstalled so no viruses present.

And here is the problem. The computer will randomly turn off the wireless functions. The blue light on the Power Button Tab will turn Orange, as it was manually disabled. I can't enable it again for some time. Sometiems it requires a reboot to re-enable. I have not found any specific reason why it's happening. There is no pattern when it occurs. Sometimes during a movie, when the internet is not used at all. Sometimes during an online game, when it certeinly is. It takes from 10 minutes to 2 hours to re-enable itself.

Would appreciate any help, as it's very frustrating.

Hello Schanez,

Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.

I understand that your wireless is being disabled and you would like to stop it from happening. I am providing you with an HP Support document:HP Notebook PCs - Solve Setup and Internet Connection Issues on a Wireless Network with Windows 7, which contains steps to help you resolve this issue. I would focus on the Disable wireless device power management options section which I have layed out below:

Most wireless devices can be configured to turn off power to reduce the power drain on the battery. This is usually not a problem when the notebook is connected to an AC power adapter. However, when operating on battery power, the adapter can be turned off to save power. To disable this power setting, do the following steps.

1. Click Start, enter device into the search field, and then select Device Manager from the list.
2. Double-click Network Adapters to expand the list, right-click on the wireless (WiFi) adapter in the list, and then select Properties .
3. On the properties window for the adapter, select the Power Management tab, and then de-select the Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power option.

Close the Device Manager, restart the notebook PC, and attempt to reconnect to the wireless network.

Please re-post if you require additional support. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!
