So here's some background info:
I'm running Windows 7 on a Sony Vaio FW Series Laptop. I'm noticing some issues with internet connectivity. I'm located on a college campus (Northwestern), so I'm using the campus wireless network. The internet connection seems to be unstable. I'll run a ping test and get response times of 13-15 ms for four or five responses in a row, then the next response time will be around 500-1000 ms. Sometimes it's bad enough that I get a request timed out message.
Is the issue something I can fix? Is it my laptop, or the school's network? How do I go about troubleshooting the issue? Thanks in advance for any help you guys can offer!
