<desc>Some wireless devices have problems handling when your computer is
suspended and does not resume properly.</desc>
</info>
<title>I have no wireless network when I wake up my computer</title>
<p>If you have suspended your computer, you may find that your wireless
internet connection does not work when you resume it again. This happens when
the <link xref="hardware-driver">driver</link> for the wireless device does
not fully support certain power saving features.
Typically, the wireless connection fails to turn on properly when the
computer is resumed.</p>
<p>If this happens, try switching your wireless off and then back on
again:</p>
<steps>
<item>
<p>Open the <gui xref="shell-introduction#activities">Activities</gui> overview and
start typing <gui>Wi-Fi</gui>.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>Click on <gui>Wi-Fi</gui> to open the panel.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>Switch the <gui>Wi-Fi</gui> switch at the top-right of the window to
off and then on again.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>If the wireless still does not work, switch the <gui>Airplane
Mode</gui> switch to on and then switch it off again.</p>
</item>
</steps>
<p>If this does not work, restarting your computer should make the wireless
work again. If you are still having problems after that, connect to the
internet using an Ethernet cable and update your computer.</p>
