Wireless Connection Issue - Takes long time to connect
Hi everyone, would appreciate any help given here.
I have just bought a new laptop (specs below), and everything on it is working well except the wireless connectivity.
On startup, every program loads quickly (within 10 seconds), and there is absolutely no lag.
However, the wireless adapter does not connect to my network, even though it is displayed in the taskbar dialog box. Only after a good while (on average, 5 minutes) does it connect to the network automatically. Before that, if you tried to do it manually, it would just say, "Windows cannot connect to (network name)."
Even though the connection is strong and stable after connection, it is extremely irritating having to wait that long every startup just for a wireless connection.
Specs:
Model - HP Pavilion dv6-7105tx
Processor - Intel i7-3630QM, 2.4 GHz
RAM - 8 GB (upgraded from 4 GB)
Graphics - Nvidia GeForce GT 650M (2 GB gDDR5 dedicated)
Wireless Adapter - Broadcom 4313GN 802.11b/g/n 1x1 Wi-Fi Adapter
Thanks in advance! :)
