When trying to connect to Wi-Fi it connects without a problem and it is showing that Wi-Fi has full signal strength. However when trying to access any website it shows that it is trying to load it and just hangs at that point. What is causing this?
What can be done to resolve this? The router in question is a Aruba Networks Router with WPA2 enterprise.

WiFi signal strength only tells just that, the strength of the signal.
It is a prerequisite to have a good connection.
How ever that does not tell you about the Quality.
If you have high interference (from devices or Neighboring networks) then your RSSI will be high. It should be <70 or better (the lower the better).
Then there is the Transmit Rate value that will tell you the actual data transmit rate.
To look up all those values hold the option (alt) key while clicking on the WiFi Icon.
Best Answer
Hold alt and click the Wi-Fi symbol in the menu bar; in the extended menu does it list the Internet as reachable? If not, it can be a external problem or perhaps there is a secondary login required on a splash website or something.
