   What causes this connection problem?   
   14 Feb 22 23:48:09   
   
   From: CALAMITYJANE@GMX.COM   
      
   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.
