    Just wondering if there is a way to stop a computer from disconnecting from a router (on purpose)? I need to make it near enough impossible to turn off the wireless network card, is this possible? and if so then how? Or is there a program I could use that would automatically turn the wireless card on if it was ever turned off?

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Is it turning off by itself?

    Have you checked your power management option? This feature will turn your card off after a certain time to save power.

    Hardwire it with an ethernet cable?
