I recently purchased two HP 250 laptops. They both have difficulty connecting to our network in the office. My old HP G71 gets 5 bars, no problem. Another pair of HP 2000s also seem to be doing just fine.
Its only the new 250s that have a problem. They vary between 1 and 2 bars, and sometimes show no connectivity. If I carry the laptop and put it right next to the router I get 5 bars, no problem.
I thought, perhaps connectivity was affected by the other machines, but when I power them all down and leave the 250s operating, the result is the same.
The router in question is a Centurylink C1000A.
