You likely are connected to a neighbors network.

When you go to sites like whatsmyip or others like it do they show you the same ip address or different. If they are different you are connected to a different router

In the IPCONFIG /ALL display try to open the ip address of the gateway in your browser. This should be your router. If you can not gain access or if you get into a router that is not yours that also indicates you are connecting to something wrong.

In the laptop I would go back and see if you can choose another connection. It may have the option turned on to connect to open wifi. You need to be sure you are using is SSID that is different than everyone else or it will sometime attempt to connect to the wrong device at times.

Sounds like something is wrong with your laptop. Make sure you have the latest drivers installed.
