dont restart PC, go to network connections, disable and then enable, see if it works

I am trying to figure out how is it even possible.
May be because you are using automatic DHCP setting, so when ur
router is not on, your PC cannot get an IP and therfore skips it.Try following steps and I think it will work
> open network connections, right click your network adpater and click properties
> new window will appear, scroll to find TCP/IP, click it (and not uncheck it) and click properties
> in the properties
windows see if it says "obtain an ip address automatically" if so change it to "use the following ip address" and type the following data
IP ADDRESS : 192 168 1 3
SUBNET 255 255 255 0
GATEWAY 192 168 1 1
click ok in all fields to close the windows..
Good Luck!
