Basic thing to try first:  Reposition your laptop or the wireless access
point.  You may simply be in a bad reception point, and having a strong
signal doesn't always mean it's a good signal, too (there could be bad
reflections).

Is this your access point, or are you having problems using a public
one?  If it's a public one, the fault may not be yours.  Whether it's
yours, or not, if you are able to try it with another access point, do
so, as yet another test to try.

Check that any disconnectable antennas are connected well.  And,
generally speaking, their antennas should be vertical.

George Orwell's '1984' was supposed to be a warning against tyranny, not
a set of instructions for supposedly democratic governments.
