Network changing to unidentified network?

So I've tried to Google the problem but I'm not really getting the answer I need.

My laptop connects to my wifi at home just fine, and is fine for awhile..then out of the blue it changes the status of my internet to 'unidentified network' and says internet access, even though I don't have internet access. It doesn't correct the problem on it's own if I wait awhile-I need to disconnect from the internet and reconnect to have it back to normal.

Any idea of how to fix this? It seems to happen randomly. It also only seems to occur when I'm home as opposed to school/cafe/etc, so possibly a router issue?

My best guess is your network is set to "connect to best connection" which is a default setting I believe. The unidentified network works and is unsecured right?

Thus why I inquired about doing so.
