I had my first wifi problem yesterday, extending into today, and I'm thrilled to report that it wasn't the edge's fault!! I suspected something was off when I logged into the apt. complex's router and noticed that it listed my machine as a connected computer (when it clearly wasn't connected). That, coupled with the edge trying to connect but being unsuccessful at the getting IP address stage, probably indicated that the router was hanging on to an old connection, I thought. So, I killed my own device's connection through the router, and then no problem. I really didn't want to add wifi problems to my list, but fortunately we're all good!

Just goes to show that not every problem is with the device itself.
