Wireless not staying connected

[jtmcc]

Hi. I have Hughesnet (which sucks by the way, don't get it, I hate contracts). The FAP states that i can only download 375MB or it shuts me down, however, from 2 to 7 AM you can download all you want. so naturally i use a download scheduler. The only problem is that at night when i shut my laptop lid it disconnects from my router. Any tips???

I hate to be captain obvious but A) Don't shut the lid. B) check your power options, it's most likely going to sleep state when you close the lid, thus killing off everything.

Cheers,

A) It's in my bedroom
B)I set it to not turn off when i shut the lid, when i open the lid, its on, wifi is trying to connect
