I just got a new notebook, and managed to successfully hook it up to a
wireless router. Everything works fine UNTIL it enters sleep or hibernate
mode. Once it enters one of those modes, the computer no longer has a
network connection when it comes out of sleep or hibernate. In fact, when I
try to find my connection in the "Network and Sharing Center" there is
nothing there.

The only "fix" I have been able to find is to reboot or restart the
computer. Then the computer automatically finds the network connection and
everything is good.

Try to use the "High performance" power plan. This link may help,
