Despite trying various IPCONFIG demands I'm not able to regain wifi
connection unless I reboot; any other clues to save having to do this
valued.

Prelude is I close laptop and leave to charge for half an hour, but do
not close down via the start button;
I turn broadband router off.
Then I switch router back on after laptop's had some juice, and laptop
see wifi connection, but no internet connection is established on
laptop.

I use these commands
IPCONFIG /CLEAR
IPCONFIG /RENEW

IF NO LUCK THEN TRY

IPCONFIG /REFRESH

but only fix is to fully reboot.

Try leaving the router on, broadband routers are designed to be always on.

I have it happen in sleep mode now and then. I simple disable then
enable the wireless card (connection). I also have a power on/off
option for the card, which does the same thing. Much simpler than
reboot.

PS I think its "ipconfig /release" not clear

Router is left on whilst laptop lid closed; have changed wireless card
power settings but still have grief.
