      Does the new laptop even have an ethernet port?

          If I were troubleshooting this I would go to another computer on the same network, fire up a WireShark session and sniff the traffic.

            Yes it is DHCP for everything on the wireless.

              It typically loses connection for 10-50 seconds. Then it just comes back. If I run a continuous ping on another host I can see the AP become inaccessible for a block of time then come back. It's rather consistent in behaviour.

                  What browser are you using?

                  Can't believe that it could be application based, it has to be either the wireless NIC or the AP, it seems. Something physically causing network issues.

                      No she's been using a backup laptop as we've not had time to investigate.

                          We got a Nexus set up to use to monitor the wireless during times of issues, but have not had a chance to check it yet.
