Essentially, I have Apple Watch unlock working on my system. the issue I'm having is that the wifi card in my system takes 8-10 seconds to 'wake up' from sleep which is longer than the watch will wait... after 5 seconds it gives up and asks for my password, if I hit escape (which cancels the login and puts the display back to sleep) and then press a key, it will work.
I notice initially the wifi icon on the lock screen is empty, after I hit escape to cancel and then press a key to wake it back up its been about 10 seconds and the wifi icon is full and linked.
so bottom line, the card takes too long to link up to wifi, I need to increase the timeout that the watch waits to 10 seconds. anyone know how? either that or somehow make the card link up faster, tried messing with some power settings in the bios but no luck.
 
I think I figured out my own problem, if I uncheck wake for network access the wifi is linked up right away from sleep! weird!
