Q: iMac losing internet connection on sleep
I remote into my iMac all the time. I am having trouble with it losing connection to the internet since upgrading to Sierra. I have it connected to the internet through a Ethernet cable. I will lose connection 10-15 minutes after leaving my computer and accessing it remotely. I have "Wake for WiFi network access" checked and turn display off set for 10 minutes. I have only had this issue within the last few days since upgrading. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I use this for work presentation very frequently and am losing connection during them. Thanks

I made some more changes to my iMac energy settings and it seemed to fix the issue. I checked the boxes "Put hard disk to sleep when possible" and "Prevent computer from sleeping automatically when the display is off". I have not had any trouble connecting remotely since making these changes. Hopefully this helps!
