CF-53 Wifi problem after reboot or closing/opening lid.

Hi guys, recent purchased a CF-53 for work. I have been using CF-19 for years, but I needed an upgrade. Problem I am having is after I close the laptop lid and open it back up, the wifi strength bar in the corner has a red X through it and I have to toggle the physical wifi switch off/on to get the wifi going again. I updated drivers with no luck. Suggestions? Thank you! I see four adapters under network adapters in hardware settings. Possible conflict?

 

Welcome to the Panasonic Toughbook forum

I am on a CF-53AAGZX1M now and I only have 2 things in my network adapters. Check out the picture below. What is your full model number of your 53 ??

 

I would delete all of the wireless devices from device manager...
Download the latest driver from Intel

Install the new driver.

Plan B
Go into power management
advanced settings
Disable the setting to turn off wifi during sleep/hibernation
You may be able to do this in device manager under the wifi card listing / settings

 

And after that you have to remember Intel 62xx cards are the most buggy among Intel's wi-fi family. Try to google and you'll see )
It's a common problem and in many cases it's impossible to solve.
My 6250 rests on a shelf because of this bug.
