First daily WiFi connection gives limited access, reconnection needed
Hi everyone,
I have recently switched my work laptop from Win XP to Win 7 and have started encountering a weird WiFi issue.
When I turn the laptop on in the morning it auto connects to my home WiFi without any problem, but indicates that there is limited access and I can't use anything requiring internet.
So my first reaction was to disconnect/reconnect and guess what? It worked.
Now every single day I have to do the same manual disconnect/reconnect, which is getting old fast :)
I tried troubleshooting this issue and here are some conclusion I reached based on my testing:
- No such issue encountered with any Win XP machine
- No such issue encountered with any Ubuntu machine (12.04)
- Exact same issue encountered on my girlfriend's laptop (also on Win 7)
- My work laptop uses a VPN to access the company's network, but I manually launch it after the internet is connected, so it cannot have an impact on the initial WiFi connection
I have attached the result of ipconfig /all if it can help, but at this point I'm stuck.
Would anyone have any suggestion?
