I am experiencing what seems to me to be a rather odd problem. My "every day" laptop (HP Envy i7 with 12GB ram on Win10) has been a bit temperamental the past few days - when I resume from standby the wifi icon displays the dreaded yellow triangle, saying I'm connected to the AP but there's no internet. Other devices on the same network are fine. The main gateway router is in another part of the house (further away), if I can connect to that everything is fine, it just that the wifi signal is weak due to the distance and other obstacles and it can drop out - hence the secondary AP. DHCP is handled by the gateway router.
BUT, back on the nearby AP, I can log in to the main router's setup page (192.168.0.x) which loads fine. I then tried pinging 8.8.8.8 and that worked too, despite the yellow triangle still showing.
So I am confused. If I can ping Google's server (or any other come to that) then why don't I have internet?
Previously turning off wifi & re-starting would clear the problem, now even a re-boot doesn't help.
Any suggestions?
The other half thinks this is happening ever so conveniently close to the 25th of next month!
