    Happy Christmas Eve everyone :)

    I'm out of the house for Christmas, but I'd like to keep an eye on my network while I'm gone, however my Wireless Adapter is prone to losing connection, so my question is, do any of you kind people know of an Application that can detect when the internet connection is lost and then automatically reset the Wireless Adapter?

    I'm currently running Windows 8.1 Pro

    Many thanks

    Symon

    Check your drivers, this is most likely causing the dropout. Maybe try the generic windows ones if you can downgrade to them. Especially if its happenning under load (high bandwith applications).
