[Year 12 IT Apps] Losing wireless connection in to'Edupass' (Offtopic)

[Meadows, Roslyn M]

Thanks Brett, I had already tried that - made it so that it would not
hibernate or standby, but it was chewing through battery power, and also
even if I move around the school and temporarily go out of range of a
hotspot I need to reboot, so I switched it back to save battery power.
When I open it at home or at our business it just automatically connects
to the wireless networks there. 

Thanks again
Ros

laptop are you using?
