Hi everyone. I'm sorta new. I rooted my nook color from 1.0.1. with auto nooter, and then did the clockwork recovery and updated to 1.1.

Here's my problem. Every time my nook goes to sleep with the wifi on, and I wake it up it looses the connection. It'll either say unnsuccessfull, or disconnected. I will try to turn it off and back on with the quick menu, but it won't connect. So I go into the settings, wireless, and then turn off the wifi, and turn it back on. It will connect that way, and stay connected until it sleeps again. It seems like this started when I got a new computer. Not sure if that has anything to do with anything....

Here's what I have tried so far. I have made the nook forget my connection, and then readded it. I have rebooted my nook. I have also changed my security from WPA-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PSK [AES] to WPA-PSK [TKIP]. I have updated my router's firmware. I have battery booster on and set it to turn the wifi on after sleeping. Nothing will work!

What am I missing? Is there a fix out there for this or am I going to have to exchange this through my squaretrade warranty? I'm out of ideas, and if anybody has any suggestions I will gladly accept and try it out. Just don't get too technical with me. lol

Thanks for any help! I appreciate it!
