Wi-Fi error

[Mr.Wazoo]

Hello,

occasionaly when I wake my pc from sleep I get an error "bad pool header".

Usually I restart my PC and I'm fine. Today when I restarted my computer now does not detect Wi-Fi from my modem ( or any modems from around my house). I've already tried resting my Modem, but it hasn't worked. I have also made a wlan report but the report shows no activity in the past 48 hours, ( which is not correct). What should I do?

Hi Wazoo,

 

If you aren't seeing any networks then it's not related to the modem/router/access point. It sounds like the wifi card is not coming out of sleep properly. It might be a driver issue, or it could be an effect of the hardware. I know sleep mode used to have issues all over the place, I would not be surprised if it's related to that. You could try updating the WLAN's driver, or contact the maker's support channel. They may have a fix, or at least confirm there is an issue and no fix is coming.

Hello! After resetting my PC multiple times the issue was resolved. (It did take ~5-6).

Thanks for the help.

If it comes back, there may be something wonky with the driver. Good luck!
