Why does my android say it is connected to the wifi but apps have trouble connecting to the internet

[AC Question]

So I was connected to my home wifi with a galaxy s4 and it said I had the max stength but when I opened a Internet related app it saI'd that there was a problem connecting but when I am closer to the router it works fine.

Welcome to Android Central! Some things to try:

1. Reboot the router (by unplugging its power for 10 seconds, then plugging it back in).
2. Use an app like Wi-fi Analyzer to see if your router is on a very congested wi-fi channel. If so, log into the router's settings to change the channel.
