    I bought this laptop last Christmas and it has been a good performer for our needs. But for the past two months or so it has occasionally been losing the connection to the internet. At first I thought it was the router, (Netgear WNDR3700), but the WiFi indicator is always 4 or 5 bars. I tested another laptop in this location and it worked flawlessly.
    Last night the issue occured again. No internet, but a strong WiFi signal. I rebooted and it connected and ran fine after that. What are possible causes of this behavior?
