Internet WIFI problem?

Question

I just got a lap tob and it is wifi capable. It says that I am connected with a very strong signal to one of the broadband access paths that my apartment provides us but I can't seem to get the web page to up load everytime I try to get on line. I have gotten on line but it is so difficult and sometimes takes me ages with many attempts. Anything I'm doing wrong? It's not my comp.. Are there settings that I need to change? I'm not computer literate. I can get by but not without help. If it helps, I have a Dell Notebook.. Pentium M.. It's an Insipron with a 1 gig of memory.. Don't know if you needed all that. But just to clarify, my wifi is actually connected with a very good signal strength.. At least this is what it says when I check it. Any other reasons why I can't get on line?

you may have a strong signal, but if everyone in the apartment complex is using the same service the bandwidth may not be sufficient enough to support all of the users.  You can check your ipconfiguration to see if you are set to DHCP, but if you can get online sometimes and not others than your IP address is probably not the issue.  I am betting that you have too many users not enough bandwidth.  Or you have some kind of virus/spyware/adware that is slowing your laptop down.

I can direct you to a link that  may help you. An internet connection can become slow or stop working due to a number of reasons depending on the type of the connection. Many of the problems can be solved by making software changes or small hardware corrections. Detailed instructions at http://tinyurl.com/yl62gz
