Networking issues only on certain networks
I've been having problems with my wireless networking on my laptop but it only happens on certain networks. I have a Linksys router and my laptop works great on it. My friend has a similar Linksys router and most of the time my laptop won't connect to it. It starts to but shortly after says it can't connect to it. When it does connect, the internet is very slow. I set up my friends router and it is set up just like mine so there shouldn't be any issues with that. I've also disabled all firewall/antivirus programs on my laptop and tried connecting to the network and it does the same thing. I have issues with the wireless network at my school as well. I don't know what make of equipment they use but I will connect to their network and sometimes quite randomly after I have been connected for a while my computer will BSOD. Sometimes it will go days without doing it and sometimes it will do it multiple times within an hour. I've tried uninstalling the wireless adapter through the device manager and letting Windows reinstall it, I've tried updating the driver, and I've tried updating my BIOS. Nothing seems to work. Any ideas?
