Whenever I turn on my laptop at my work, friend's, Aunt's, and my house, the wireless routers crashes and needs to be restarted.

Why is my Lenovo G505 Laptop crashing wireless routers? How can I stop this? I need my laptop for work and of course I need the internet.

Any ideas?
 
Solution
Are all of the affected networks password secured? If the difference is secured vs unsecured there may be an odd software bug here. Try uninstalling the wifi driver in the device manager and re-installing it.
Hmm, perhaps the wireless card in that laptop is acting wacky? A replacement card doesn't cost too much (I don't like to suggest replacement parts in the dark but in this case it wouldn't be a big problem). Make sure to verify the form factor of card that laptop uses though.

Laptop wireless works just fine at commercial places like restaurants, bookstores, and airport. It's just home routers that makes it go wacky.
