Hi, my wifi signal is strong but my laptop is having problems connecting to the wifi. Resetting the internet box thing didn't work. I tried restarting my laptop but not helpful at all. My roommates had no problem connecting and I can connect to the wifi on my phone as well.

On my laptop, the signal is strong but I keep getting randomly cut off and not being able to reconnect. (It shows full wifi bar with a tiny yellow triangle with ! beside it)
I would have to keep troubleshooting to reconnect and it doesn't always work.

Also when I manage to get a connection, it is very slow though the wifi signals excellent. Using the same wifi on my phone, it is fast. My 2 rommates said she had no problem with slow or no connection to her phone and laptop too.

My wifi security is WPA2-Personal if it helps..

yellow triangle means limited connection. Usually goes away with things you already tried reseting network adapter or restarting router. Oh if your laptop has a physical wifi button to enable or disable wireless connection, make sure thats not causing it (happened with my sister)

Try forgetting the network and connect again.
