What causes this?: Can connect to wifi access point sometimes and
sometimes not(shared connection, not my router). When connected to AP No
data flow, cannot load pages and sometimes have to use proxy to get DNS
lookups. Sometimes can ping DNS ips/router and sometimes not. Signal
strength program shows sufficient signal strength that could connect
previously, but not now. Only way to remedy this is to place my laptop
in close proximity to rounter-few feet, connect and then go back to my
house and continue the connection-sometimes works other times not.
Sometimes I can ping with fast pings, but still not data flow cannot
surf or do anything. Windows 8.x, with not good line of sight, signal
bouncing off metal walls to my windows, but signal strength reported
works fine most of the time and sometimes not. Router shows like 10
people either connected or trying to connect. I do not have the password
to reboot it, I can only turn it on and off and move the antenna.
