When I leave my computer alone and it enters sleep mode, after I return it cannot connect to the WiFi unlike before. I don't alter anything, I just leave it be but upon returning it simply cannot connect to any WiFi connection.

[EDIT] My device is a Dell Inspiron 3543

I don't have any power saving settings on.

Upon executing lspci I get this:

06:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Inc. and subsidiaries BCM43142 802.11b/g/n (rev 01)
07:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL810xE PCI Express Fast Ethernet controller (rev 07)

Upon executing lshw -class network I get:

[/EDIT]

I'm using Ubuntu 18.04 and it's on a Dual Boot with Windows 10, if that changes anything.

What can I do to fix this issue? Thanks

    It depends on the hardware - please [edit] and post it - and the energy saving settings, probably. –  Mar 25 '19 at 12:24
  • Done! Hope this helps. – Zap Mar 25 '19 at 13:06
  • We need the exact WiFi device and the same model can be shipped with many different ones. Please either do lspci in Ubuntu and copy/paste the relevant line or check the Device Manager in Windows. –  Mar 25 '19 at 13:09
  • Will this suffice? – Zap Mar 25 '19 at 13:49

    Yes, thanks. Check this https://askubuntu.com/q/55868/880592 and make sure you have the correct/recommended driver installed. –  Mar 25 '19 at 13:53
  • I will check if this solution works for me, thank you very much! – Zap Mar 25 '19 at 14:03
