Answer 1

The best way you can do it is turning off power management for the wireless adapter;

Power Management Settings for the Wi‑Fi Adapter

Windows might be turning off your network adapter to save power. To disable this behavior:

Open Device Manager:

Right-click on the Start button and select Device Manager.

Find Your Wi‑Fi Adapter:

  Expand **Network adapters**.
  
     Right-click your wireless adapter (it might be named something like "Intel(R) Wireless" or "Realtek Wireless") and choose **Properties**.
     
     **Adjust Power Settings:**
     
        Go to the **Power Management** tab.
        
           Uncheck the option **Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power**.
           
              Click **OK**.
              

This ensures that Windows doesn’t disable the adapter during sign-in or in idle scenarios.
