Latop won't connect to DNS server wirelessly, still works with Ethernet cable

Today I've run into an issue where all of the sudden, my laptops wireless internet connection would start failing.

I had been using it for a few minutes when I suddenly wasn't able to open any websites anymore (strangely enough, I had twitch running on one tab and I didn't lose connection to the stream until I closed that tab, at which point I couldn't re-open it anymore), just receiving an error message that I wasn't connected to the internet, even though I was still connected to my Wi-Fi network.

At first I thought it was a network issue, but my phone and other digital devices connected to the Wi-Fi had no issues at all.

I tried running diagnostics but it just gave me a mix of "what are you talking about, nothing is wrong" and "DNS server cannot be reached".

I've re-started my router as well as the network adapter on my laptop as well as the laptop itself and it didn't help.

Odd thing is, I eventually thought to connect my laptop to the router directly using an Ethernet cable, and all of the sudden, I had internet access. So it seems that my Laptop in particular has just developed an aversion to wireless internet.

In case it matters, I did install eduroam certificates for my university this week and used them to connect to my uni's wireless network, but if that was the cause, I don't understand why I'm only having issues now, when I installed the certificates on tuesday and have been able to use the same network that's giving me trouble now with no issue yesterday.

I am using a Lenovo LOQ 15ARP9 Laptop with Windows 11 Home edition, version 25H2, build number 26200.8457

Just to clarify, the reason why I don't just want to stick with the Ethernet cable is because my room is on another floor than the router (it's my parents home) and I have to run the cable across the living room to connect it, where it's getting in the way.

Do we know how people in Ancient Greece reacted to the Aeneid?

It is my understanding that Vergil's Aeneid essentially turns Rome into a successor state to the city of Troy by claiming that the founders of Rome were descended from the Trojan hero Aeneas, effectively connecting the Roman founding myth to Homer's Illiad.

Given that the Illiad was a work of great importance to the Greeks, is there any indication that they considered Vergil's appropriation of it to frame a Roman national narrative to be offensive in any way? Or were they just content treating it as a piece of poetry?

Or do we simply not have any sources on a contemporary Greek reception of the Aeneid?

I'd be interested to know more about this because it feels like the kind of thing that people could have had strong opinions on.
