I am not making my point well.  In the initial stages, I thought only the desktop was affected with periodic inability to reconnect to the router.  But as some days went buy, I found my laptop was doing the same –occasionally failing to reconnect to router, even w/ a strong signal.
The kicker is that I can bring the laptop close to the router when it is acting up and try a repair or restart, and still it won’t reconnect UNLESS I unplug/plug router power – then boom, connected.
Strongest possible signal, but something this router occasionally does will result in an inability to make a connection.
Anybody here able to explain the mechanics of a successful wifi router and computer adapter connect???
I realize they are cheap and I will likely get one, but I am really curious.
