Desktop Wireless Card Not Automatically Connecting

Hi all,

I recently finished my first desktop build, and it happens to include a Gigabyte wi-fi card (I am over 60 ft from the router/modem, possibly more when maneuvering the cable around the walls and whatnot).

I have the card's drivers installed and everything seated properly and everything works just fine, except when I shut down the computer or put it in sleep (haven't tried testing restarting it yet), upon the re-boot up and re-logging in, it doesn't automatically connect to my home router. I have checked the windows 10 "Automatically connect" box repeatedly, and went through the process in Device Manager to be sure that I told Windows that it couldn't turn it and it's associated devices off to conserve power, so at this point I'm at a loss.

I'm starting to get frustrated with having to re-enter my long and convoluted security key every time I get on the computer, so I have came to you guys. If anyone has any suggestions, they are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for the help.

I hate to bump something like this, but I could really use the help; getting tired of typing in my unnecessarily long security key every time I bring the computer out of shut down or sleep.

Try this.

Click on the WiFi icon in the task bar. Click Manage known networks. Click your router (modem) listed there, click Forget. Restart your computer. Now go back to the WiFi listings and click Connect Automatically for your router listed there, click Connect. You will have to reenter your security code. It should now remain connected through Shutdowns and Restarts.

I'll give that a shot as soon as I get home from work, thanks Voyager.
