After some work, I isolated the issue to the TCP/IP protocol. I then followed these instructions to specify a fixed IP address:
1)Go to "Start" -> "Control Panel"
2) Click on "Network & Internet Connections" 3) Click on "Network Connections" 4) Right click on the icon for your wireless adapter -> Choose "Properties" 5) Click on "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) -> Click "Properties" 6) In the "General" tab check off "Use the following IP address" 7) Enter an internal IP address 192.168.xxx.xxx (replace the x's with a number of your choice- I used 1.11), also 198 can be used instead of the 168 8) Enter a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 9) Click "OK" 10) Click "OK"
I had a similar problem with my Inspiron 3520 Laptop with Dell 1703 wireless by Qualcomm Altheros running Windows 10 with an SSD. Everything would start up fast except that the wifi wouldn't connect for almost a minute. After trying the usual things, finally I got it to work by changing the Roaming Policy to high in the wireless adapter properties.

Good luck.
