    DV9000 laptop win xp and a cisco E3000 wireless router. I have My power settings to always on for everything. If I leave walk away from my laptop for maybe 10 minutes and I come back the connection to the router is lost. There will be an X in the taskbar over the wireless connection. I have to do a right click and repair and it will reconnect.
    The strange things is I can leave the laptop downlaoding and upload for days even a week long without touching it and the connection stays. Why is my laptop losing the connection when it is inactive?

    Found my problem. I went in to device manager- wireless card. The box was checked for "let my computer control power savings for wireless card"
