What basically happens when your Mac goes to sleep is that the SMC decides which components on the device are supposed to go to sleep so that battery is saved as a result. System Management Controller or SMC is actually a subsystem that controls different functions of the machine such as battery charging, sleep and wake mode, keyboard lighting along with much more stuff. Please note that if the following methods do not solve your issue, there is a high chance that the network adapter has gone bad and you will have to replace it in such a scenario. So, without further ado, let us get started. They are really easy to follow and will resolve your issue in minutes. Now that we are done with the causes of the issue, let us get into the solutions that you can implement to fix this issue. In the otherwise scenario, the issue can be easily fixed by resetting SMC or NVRAM. This is usually the case behind the said error message and can often a reboot fixes the issue.

This does not happen often but is still a possibility.
