Sometimes the internet works, sometimes it doesn't. I made sure my laptop was not in plane mode.

Windows 7 can detect the wireless connection, but when it tries to connect to it, it will either fail or claim that is has a limited connection.

Edit: I restarted my modem and Windows managed to connect. I don't understand why it couldn't work before since Linux and mac and other devices could connect perfectly.

I have had the same problem. It seems wireless devices aren't always as compatible as they should be.

It's only a compatibility issue? I guess it could explain why it works in Linux.

Crappy wifi basically.

My current high-end home wifi router periodically stops responding to the internal network for no apparent reason - all the link are up but it simply rejects data packets for some reason. Power cycle fixes it. Usually we can go for weeks at a time without problems, but sometimes we get a spate of issues in the course of 2-3 days.

That's exactly my case.

Hmmm. Is it the DNS that "crashes"? I get this very rarely, but it's not wireless. Sometimes DNS just stops working; e.g. vent and stuff still work but websites just randomly won't connect anymore. I'm pretty sure this is unrelated.
