Wireless card Vostro 1720 Intel WiFi Link 5100 AGN
moderate
We're in hospital, she's I'll, I am 24/7 carer.
My Vostro 1720 connects promptly at home, WiFi or LAN.
Hospital has public use WiFi provided on each floor. Transmitter has TP-Link on the cover and twin aerials.
The Vostro can see transmitters for 4 floors, the signals come & go and, regularly disappear.
2 iPads & an iPhone stay connected unless, the signal disappears, in the same room. Signals are described as excellent or good.
The Vostro when I bring it in, after using at home,connects automatically. Twice has reached the stage when all 3 links I can see with a decent signal, can't connect, sometimes get asked for the password, run trouble shooter multiple times with no success. First time internet connection worked for 2 days, 2nd time for an hour, then couldn't log on to any link.
I'm puzzled why the Vostro doesn't hold the connection and the IOS devices do.
Public holiday over in a couple of days and I plan to catch the lady chief of the hospital and the IT manager.
I would be most grateful for queries, comments or, references to help in these encounters.
Thank you and regards
