    I'm having an issue with the wireless internet taking a while to reconnect to my network after it sleeps/hibernates. It will often take upwards of a minute or more to "locate" and connect back to the network. I tried disabling/uninstalling the other "network adapters" under device manager, Microsoft virtual wifi miniport, and the Ethernet. Thinking the system is prioritizing the network connections, but it's still having the same issue.

    Is anyone else experiencing a problem with this?

    Not sure if it has anything to do with the Killer Wireless-N 1102 card, but i don't remember having this exact issue with my previous stock card. Which completely wouldn't connect to the internet at times.
