This is what I do to determine if it is connection problem to the WiFi
access point or from the access point to the internet. Open a "Command
Prompt" (old DOS command line type) windows. Enter at the prompt:
IPCONFIC /ALL
It should respond with:
...
Dhcp Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : Yes
Autoconfiguration Enabled . . . . : Yes
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.108
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1
DHCP Server . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1
DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.6.1
Then enter:
PING the "Default Gateway"
In my case it would be:
PING 192.168.1.1
If you get a good consistent "Reply from ..." then it is NOT your WiFi
connection to the access point. If you get only, or the majority being
"Request timed out." Then it is you WiFi connection. I would go to the
office and try from there to see if the problem goes away, or not. In either
case you can tell the manager of you problem, explain what you did, and ask
for help in resolving the problem. You may have to move.
If you don't even have an "IP Address" you have to weak of a radio signal to
be heard by the Access Point.
Good luck, Larry
