Wireless connection doesn't always automatically start up..

[Guest]

I'm using a D-Link 624 router, a Hawking adapter on a desktop and a
truemobile adapter on my laptop all using WPA. Sometimes, but not all times,
when I boot the desktop and/or laptop come up with eithe the red X on the
wireless icon or the yellow exclamation point. I then either have to
manually connect or do a repair respectively. Why can't I get a reliable
connection?

Thanks

The router needs to be powered and completely booted before either
computer is started. If the router is on a common switched power supply
with either computer, separate it. Most leave the router powered
constantly. If you switch the modem, the same applies.

The router is constantly powered, not at all switched. Thank you for your
response.
