What computer?
What operating system?
What program is telling you it's NOT connected?

My guess(tm) is that you have a Toshiba laptop using ConfigFree. You
have the power management settings all screwed up so that it saves
power when running off AC by turning OFF the wireless device. Check
your power management settings in the control panel.
