This message/situation is same as "when FQDN is not found in DNS", and is 
easily seen by POP3 definition with dummy/non-existent server such as x.x.x.
The messag is "DNS is looke up".
What is base of your "nosense" on message related to DNS look up?

With POP3 definition with dummy/non-existent server such as x.x.x, old Tb 
showed connection error message when server is not found in DNS.
Recent Tb stopped annoying connection error error message.
  While looking up DNS, "Looking up".
  After end of DNS look up, "Looked up".
  If server is not found, stop further action,
  because trying to connect to non-exstent server is nonsense.

Because phenomenon with Wifi and phenomenon is when Wifi router doesn't have 
server connection yet, it may be following.
- In PC, DNS server is defined as 192.168.0.1.
- Wifi router's local IP address is 192.168.0.1
  i.e. Wifi roter behaves as proxy server to DNS, or a DNS server.
- Wifi router gets actual DNS address of his provider upon connection
  establishment with his server.
- Wifi router returns "not found", if actual IP address of DNS of his
  provider is not known yet.

If you can reproduce your problem consistently, 
(A) Before you try to connect to server from Tb, 
connect to 192.168.0.1 from Browser and check Wifi router's WAN side status. Is 
DNS address set always? If DNS IP address is shown, do "tracert or ping 
the-ip-address-of-DNS" at Terminal. Is response returned within reasonable 
period?
Write ddown the actual DNS's IP address. 
(B) Actual DNS address is usualy not changed so frequently.
Before you try to connect to server from Tb, do "tracert 
written-down-ip-address-of-DNS" at Terminal. Is response returned within 
reasonable period?
(C) How about "tracert or ping ???.gmail.com"?
    IIRC, I already requested this to you in comment #2...
