Remove your wif connection from the computer, there should be a "forget" button. Then re-connect to your wifi signal. If that did not fix it, reboot the router, if that did not fix, it, try a different security type for wifi. If this never worked, your wifi card could be an older one that is not compatible with newer wifi standards. You could also try to find newer wireless card drivers.
The system want's to initialize the adapter when it starts and prob can't do when you plug the cable in after you are already running...If you want to plug in after running, then go to networks and manually connect

Agree with all of this. Also, check your Device Manager (prior to updating Wireless Driver) to see if it reporting any Wireless Driver issues.
