so every time I close the lid or suspend the laptop and turn it on again the WiFi disconnect, when I try to reconnect it will have problems finding network available. even thought I was on that network before it will not detect after that happens. It will only show up again after only after I restart the computer. Can anyone tell me how to fix this.

If you are using an external WiFi dongle (plugged into a USB port) you could try this:

Edit /etc/default/grub Add to the end of the line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT
usbcore.autosuspend=-1

Save and exit; then update: sudo update-grub

You’ll probably need to reboot to install the updated grub.

S.N.: Personally I prefer to comment the original line then (using nano as the editor) ^K to delete the line then ^U ^U to restore the commented line and copy in the line for editing. Saves me typing it in again; also I have the original line handy in the file. Don’t forget to remove the ‘#’ in the new command line!!
