Has trouble finding my router wifi. Sometimes finds my neighbour's but not mine. Others do not have this problem. Advice in Help sometimes works to connect.
When found, the connection 'arcs' icon shows a connection but then changes to the double arrow logo (usually associated with wire connection).
Currently connected but showing double arrow. Drop-down menu shows no available wifi's.
