Hi, So on my old Acer windows 7 laptop BT Wifi with fon worked great but now on my new Dell windows 8.1 laptop I'm having trouble using it, I can connect to BT wifi and it loads the login page fast but then I can't load any other page. Sometimes it works for a bit but then stops out of nowhere or it will only load some of the page and then just stops loading it. Sometimes it disconnects me and other times it won't let me connect to the network at all. I can use it on my little sister's laptop which runs windows 7 and it's a lot faster than on my new laptop.

I have a Dell Inspiron 7000 laptop which has an Intel Dual Band Wireless-N 7260 adapter built in but I can't use Bt Wifi with it so I use an external wireless adapter dongle since I can get faster speeds when connected to my Home Hub 3 and it picks up two BT Wifi with Fon signals and one BT Wifi signal but I'm having this problem with all three signals.

Any help would be appreciated :)

Our Home Hub works fine, It's the BT Public wifi that I'm having trouble with.
