You can have problem with connectivity because the wireless network connection is dropped or you don’t have too much experiences with this kind of connectivity.

This issue occurs if the Wi-Fi hot spot uses wireless APs or routers that do not support the 802.11 power save protocol.
The explanations for this issue is that the power saving features that are included in Windows Vista and Windows 7, default power plan is Balanced, will turn off 802.11 power safe mode, because the wireless network adapter is configured to use Maximum Performance mode. This case it’s happened when you when the mobile PC is plugged into a power source.
Other case is when the mobile PC is running on battery power, the wireless network adapter is configured to use Medium Power Save mode. This uses the 802.11 power save mode.
