    Hi ssor777 and Welcome to SF,

    Is this a work laptop? It is configured in a domain network, it has a DNS suffix of .local.

    Another thing...you are using Open DNS's, you may set it back to 'Obtain DNS Server Automatically' from your Wireless setting.

    Install and run Xirrus Wi-Fi Inspector.
    Click on the 'Show Networks' to display all wireless networks on the xirrus icon on your desktop if you have one running in a corner. Tap the Printscreen key on your keyboard, open up Paint then choose Edit from the Menu and select Paste, then SAVE it. Upload and attached on your next Post.
