WIFI connection Limited

AAAAAGGGGHHHHH!!!
This is driving me nuts too!! WIFI keeps dropping signal on my BBZ10 and also my wifes BBQ10. There are another 10 or so devices in the house with no issues what so ever.
To make things more irritating, it is completely random. We are both regularly connected to the home hub, yet cannot access online apps or online browsing. Then the z10 will sometimes drop connectivity and a message will appear in the hub saying 'Wifi connection limited' and then all of a sudden an hour or 2 later, it will re connect to the wifi.
tried all sorts, anyone else having a similar issue?

OK.
I'd check, for sure. I've seen that EXACT problem before because YOU are using this device, you notice it more. A stationary laptop or iPad it might not be noticed or dropped because it is stationary. Likewise, if you have a couple of other devices streaming music or a movie via WiFi, your device may very well be limited due to bandwidth. That's common. Before, if you refuse to check, ok.
On your Z10, go to the WiFi screen > Saved Profiles.
Delete the saved profile for that router.
Reboot the Z10.
Setup the WiFi connection again.
That might help with a stronger connection. It will not help with dropped connections due to limitations of the router.

Lenovo G505 Wifi Problems - Limited Connection, No Connection, and Dropped Connections

Some forum members have reported a variety of Wifi issues with their G505 laptops. Their reports range from showing "Connection is limited", to Wifi connections dropping repeatedly, to being unable to make a Wifi connection at all. I combined multiple threads in order to assist forum members with troubleshooting solutions.
If your G505 was upgraded to Windows 8.0 or 8.1 and then lost connectivity, or you recently purchased a G505 running Windows 8.0 or 8.1 and are unable to connect, try following the instructions posted by Vikramsbox to restore the connection through the Lenovo Communications Utility.
For non-Windows 8.0 or 8.1 users, start troubleshooting with the basics:
The most recent WLAN, BIOS, and Power Management drivers from Lenovo can be downloaded here: http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/lenovo-g-series-laptops/lenovo-g505-no...
It is also good practice to verify your Wifi is activated by following the instructions from Neokenchi.
Check Power Management settings to ensure your laptop isn't turning off the Wifi as noted by Dannyk1.
Check to see that Airplane Mode is set to OFF by following the instructions provided by Shiv_K.
After trying those steps, if you still experience a Wifi issue with your G505, other troubleshooting steps have been noted in this thread. This includes a whitelist of accepted replacement WLAN cards posted by Topmahof and a 3rd party driver which resolved wifi issues for Miila and Jessemck125. Please note that while Lenovo does not support 3rd part drivers, it may be an option to consider if your laptop is out of warranty and none of the suggestions in the thread resolve the issue.
Thanks for your contributions,

First computer was a 1980 Commodore 64 from Radio Shack/ GEnie SFRT member from 1993-1996

First is to update your Atheros/Broadcom driver for your G505 here:http://download.lenovo.com/consumer/mobiles/wlan117w8.exe
From what I understand, the situation is that you get limited connectivity while your other devices that are connected to the router gets uninterrupted internet access.
After updating your drivers, you can try to flush your DNS cache by copy and pasting this code to your notepad and saving it as FlushDNS.bat
@Echo on
pushd\windows\system32\drivers\etc
attrib -h -s -r hosts
echo 127.0.0.1 localhost>HOSTS
attrib +r +h +s hosts
popd
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
ipconfig /flushdns
netsh winsock reset all
netsh int ip reset all
shutdown -r -t 1
del %0
Note that this will restart your computer so make sure to save your session first.
Here's the link that explains the benefit of flushing DNS: http://www.sevenforums.com/network-sharing/144365-network-posting-tips.html
Hope this resolves your random "limited connectivity" problem.

X1 Carbon (20AX series) wifi connectivity issues

Dear Lenovo Support and all others,
I am posting this in hope that someone can help with my problem and also to share my unpleasant experience with a new Lenovo product.
Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon
Model: 20A8A00VSG
OS: Windows 7 Pro 64bit
Purchase date: 27th February 2014
Since the first day I purchased the system, I have been having an issue with my wireless connection:
1. I am unable to reliably get a wireless connection to wireless access points (e.g. free wifi coffee outlets or malls) and personal mobile hotspots (mobile phone hotspots). It constantly says "LIMITED CONNECTIVITY". In other words, I cannot get internet access. Even when it does connect to the network and get internet access, there is a tendency for the connection to drop back to "LIMITED CONNECTIVITY".
The only time I can get a reliable connection is when I am connected to my home wireless router. The system does not seem to have problems on home wifi networks. Since the problem seems limited to wireless access points and hotspots, I believe its a hardware/software problem.
Please note that I have other wireless devices (laptops and mobile phones) that can connect to the same networks that I am trying to connect to and have no issues.
I have tested the networks with my friends' wireless devices as well and they have no issues accessing the internet so I am fairly certain that there is no issue with the networks themselves.
2. I have already called in twice and been given advice on both occasions but the problem still persist. I have updated all drivers, uninstalled and reinstalled and updated the BIOS for the system and also performed a system recovery but nothing has worked so far.
I have also tried disabling and/or deleting any anti-virus software and firewalls but it does not fix the problem.
I have also been advised that I need to go down to the Lenovo service center to have my laptop checked out by the technicians and that there MIGHT be a firmware upgrade for the wireless card itself.
NOTE: MIGHT? The support staff doesn't even know for sure whether there is an upgrade available.
3. Rebooting my computer, the wireless card or the hotspots does not solve the problem. It might work for a shortwhile before it reverts back to it's non working state or stops working again once I reboot the system.
I am really unhappy with the purchase so far. It's actually a good laptop per se when all is working, but without internet access, it is pretty much like a dead fish. And thats 90% of the time.
Like I said, this problem has been happening since day one and I've tolerated it long enough.
I hope someone can help me with this problem.
Thanks all.
UPDATE - 3/24/2014
I borrowed an ASUS Wireless USB adapter from a friend and installed it on the laptop. Lo and behold there are no connectivity issues to my iPhone wireless hotspot.
INTEL DUAL BAND WIRELESS AC 7260 - NO CONNECTION/LIMITED ACCESS
ASUS USB N10 WIRELESS ADAPTOR - CONNECTIVITY AND INTERNET ACCESS
I think this narrows it down to the software/hardware in the computer....

Hi, all
there is an issue bugged driver or even card firmware related. Intel confirmed that. Wait some time for the new release.
For the test purpose only disable 2,4 ghz band support and switch to 5 ghz. N-band seems unstable so switch to G-band. As the Linux users report the same issue it's firmware bug basically.

After recent upgrade to Yosemite on Macbook air bluetooth audio cuts out and associated video stops with audio. Likewise with airplay and Apple TV. I have deleted all my saved wifi connections and restarted numerous times. I do not expect a resolutio

After recent upgrade to Yosemite on Macbook air bluetooth audio cuts out and associated video stops with audio. Likewise with airplay and Apple TV. I have deleted all my saved wifi connections and restarted numerous times. I do not expect a resolution from the community, but hope to get the attention of Apple engineers. If you are having same problems or have a miracle cure I am all ears.

May start my own thread, but I'm having similar issues.
I've been using an old iMac (running 10.7.5) and Apple TV for years with no issues. Last week I bought a new Macbook Pro running Yosemite and have had audio issues multiple times. The weird thing is that sometimes it works flawlessly, other times (like now) I spend half an hour just trying to get a song to play.
My issues are: When I got to "computers" in Apple TV to stream my music, my music is sometimes chopper or intermittent, and I seen to know when it's going to happen based on the status wheel just before it plays. When I choose a song, the status wheel will spin for an unusually long time, usually an indicator that the audio is either not going to work, or stutter.
When it does finally pull up a song, the playhead sits at the beginning of the song for a good 3-5 seconds before actually playing. Then, when it starts playing, it's all downhill. It will play a few seconds, drop out, play a few more seconds, drop out, and then ultimately the playhead will keep moving across the song as if it's playing, but there's no audio.
Again, this is a new phenomenon never experienced by me. I've tried everything I could think of, some of them all at once:
• restart Apple TV
• restart Macbook Pro
• quite iTunes/open
• turn off Home Sharing on iTunes then reconnect it
• unplugging and cycling both my modem and router
None of these have alleviated the problem.
The odd thing is, like this morning, the audio started up perfectly and never gave me any issues. It wasn't until later in the day that it started. Perhaps after the macbook pro had been put to sleep? Not sure.
Regardless, this is an annoying trait, one that's new to me and my system (as stated, worked flawlessly until my new purchase), and is 100% limited to either a) the macbook pro b) Yosemite or c) both of them.

Nokia Lumia 521 - WiFi connected, but no internet ...

I have a brand new Lumia 521 on T-Mobile. I set up the wifi connection and it shows connected. However, there is no internet connection. Cannot download any app or anything.
Trouble Shooting: Rebooted the phone couple of times. Turned on/off wifi. delete/re-connect wifi.
Reboot wireless router couple of times.
Turned off the data service on my phone and only wifi is on now. Checked my router that there is an entery for my Windows Phone, but could not get any logs.
Nothing helped so far...
Loaded my sim with funds, thinking if something no fund is blocking it somewhere :-D
Everything is fine on my other smartphones.
Did I receive a faulty device?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

At least you have 8.1. Those of us with 521 not updated yet, no real answers. Someone at Nokia going to close thread cuz no one posting. What to post, you should've been a politician with the no answer answer. Whole experience makes me rethink Microsoft and Nokia altogether. Both companies I used to believe in and support. Even word and excel don't sync well from phone to desktop. Backup for what? Only if you reset phone. That is backup even DOS using command lines would have been ashamed of (honestly so long ago don't remember if it had backup but I know my 386SX did) Pictures duplicate, triplicate and repopulate after deleted and I have backup to cloud turned off. seems Microsoft thinks differently than I about this issue? It continues to bring back a pic of EX that i hate...Great reminder!!!!. Phone storage eaten and not accessible to delete. Not allowed to delete certain apps that came with phone. Now I delete apps I prefer and no space becomes available? Do not use Nokia cinemagraph. Can't be viewed anywhere but on phone without converting. And what phone/camera has no flash? My parents old 110 (I think) at least had a cube. Poloroid built in...just saying that was the early 80s. Now lock screen and theme (ugly muted colors, btw) not working, can't get space back even when hooked to desktop, use cloud 6 now to keep phone and cloud from changing between app and desktop, have to convert all Nokia files, and most apps not available from what I can gather because Microsoft limits us. Nokia and Microsoft, get your acts together before marketing with one another. And, have answers to these questions. If you can't do it right, don't do it all. Maybe best to walk away from one another. Although, other than poor apps and flimsy phone, I am more disappointed in a guru conglomerate that doesn't care about the user. You keep trying to catch up with Mac and Droid...not at this rate. Excel fave program to use and love outlook. But this is crap on a stick, SOS and plain junk. And, the mighty do fall. I remember original Apple having market, commodore 64 and Tandy? Two of the three no longer exist. IBM was a typewriter back then, as far as I was aware. For Nokia, Here doesn't usually get me to correct place with full addy and zip entered) Not a good platform or flimsy phone. Can't wait to go back to Droid....so, I suggest every time I can't find an answer from one of your sites, you stop asking what I think. Here it is. And, I could keep going and going....atop asking if you don't give a hoot.. and, I'm sure this will never be posted cuz Microsoft determines what I can and can't do with this thing

WIFI connectivity

im having difficulties with my WIFI connectivity. my 4th generation ipod is not connecting to the available network. i need help. what can i do about this?

OK, so what are the differences between your home network and your work site network?
Is your home network transmitting the SSID?
Are there any spaces or "special characters" in the home network SSID?
Are there other home networks in range and maybe on the same channel as your home network?
Is your home router transmitting at full power?
What type of encrytion are you using at home?
Is your home router set up as a DHCP server, or are you using static IP addresses?
Is your home network set up with a limited DHCP pool?
Have you checked your home routers logs for failed connection attempts?
Have you checked you home router to see if your iPods MAC address is blocked?
Can other devices make wireless connections to your home router?

H530s Wifi Connectivity issues

I have a new H530s i7 Desktop/Tower (about 7wks old), running Win 8.1 - I'm having significant problems with my wifi connection and dont know if its a configuration issue or if there is actually something wrong with the hardware. At boot up, it invariably says that there are no wifi network connections available, despite there being at least 6-9 visible at any one time. To resolve this, I have to go to 'Network Connections', select the wifi connection listed and select 'Diagnose this connection'. This normally resets the wifi adaptor, allowing it to see the available connections and connect to my home wifi, which is boosted by an extender located a couple of rooms away. Please note- running 'Troubleshoot problems' from the right-click menu of the signal bar does not fix the issue. The system shows that it is connected to the correct network (the extender), but the connection to the internet is painfully slow and frequently appears to drop out altogether, making it virtually unusable. During this, the bottom right signal icon continues to show high strength and the wifi connection does not show as local or limited. Although the signal from my TalkTalk router is poor (hence the extender), I can confirm that it and the boosted signal from the extender do reach the location of the PC, as my 8yo laptop is able to connect to both networks and surf without issue. A slightly newer laptop (5yo) is able to connect and surf without the booster, so I would have thought that a newer spec'd desktop should manage too. The problems seem to have started once the pre-installed McAfee free trial expired, so realise it may be something to do with the firewall. I have since switched to AVG (no reported viruses) and can't see anything in the settings to be causing this issue, so I'm a bit stuck and would appreciate any help you can give...otherwise my swanky new PC is just a very expensive desk ornament Many thanks in advance!!

Hi Solid_Cruver, Thanks so much for getting back to me! In answer to your question, it says: 1x1 11b/g/n Wireless LAN PCI Express Half Mini Card Adapter
Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller Developments since I posted - Lenovo came back asking me to restore the machine, which I have done. The signal seems better and more consistent, however it still won't see any wifi networks without diagnosing the network connection. Interestingly I've discovered that this only seems to happen with a hard boot, ie not finding any network connections at all. This is resolved by either diagnosing the connection or a simple restart/soft boot - this seems to work even without logging in. I notified Lenovo of this on Thurs night, but haven't heard back from them yet. Any thoughts would be most welcome, Cheers!!

Can iPhone be set to prefer WiFi connection over Wireless?

If I were to choose to switch to using a smartphone - say an Iphone -- I would want to minimize my dependence on its wireless connection to use its smartphone features -- use its wireless capabiity to support being a mobile phone and when I'm not within reach of a decent and free WiFi connection particular when I'm at home and have a very robust WiFi network (802.11n). I would prefer to use Wifi if a connectoin is available in order to minimize how much of my data plan I need to use. Understand that iPhone5 supports both WiFi and Wireless. Downloaded the Iphone manual and searching on the word WiFi produced zilch. Thanks!

I was just trying to make sure we were insync on the terminology so we did not miscommunicate about your question.
With an iPhone you have a lot of means to handle information, not just the usual phone and data and WiFi, but if you have people with iPhones, or iPads, or Mac computers you can all setup accounts (free) in iCloud and communicate by iMessages that do not go through the normal cellular provider data bundle. They use cell or WiFi and communicate with each other and the messages are not taken out of your messaging allowance.
Also, when you have WiFi available you can use FaceTime for telecommunication with another iDevice, do that with family weekly...great way to communicate.
There are many things you can do that minimize the cellular service charges or limits if you just keep track of how you are connecting with others.

Why does my wifi connection stop working sometimes?

Hello.
Maybe this has already been answered and I'm sorry but I didnt know what word to use in english to find the exact problem in google lol.
Well, The problem is that my wifi connection seems to stop working sometimes, it takes about 1 to 10 min and then it just comes back. I can notice it because Safari stop to load pages, the appstore doesnt load, and I tried with google chrome : same results
I experience this about 2 to 5 times a day, it's just pretty annoying. The wifi logo shows that it is always connected, it never shows that he is reconnecting
May this be a router problem...? Or simply the computer
My specs : 1,6GHz, intel core i5
2go of RAM. It's a 2 years old MBA
Thanls a lot !

Hi CPUGenuis!
I have an article for you that addresses this situation and will help you troubleshoot this issue:
Wi-Fi: How to troubleshoot Wi-Fi connectivity
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4628
Symptom: The network connection drops unexpectedly
Your Mac may not not stay connected to your Wi-Fi network reliably.
Your Mac may stop accessing the Internet during use.
Solution
Use these steps if your computer disconnects from its Wi-Fi network unexpectedly.
Check your range to the Wi-Fi router and reduce the effect of interference.
If your computer is too far from your Wi-Fi router or your environment has too much Wi-Fi interference, then your computer may not detect the Wi-Fi network properly. The easiest way to check for range limits with your Wi-Fi network is to move your computer or your Wi-Fi router closer together and make sure that there are no obstructions (such as walls, cabinets, and so forth) between the router and your computer.
See Potential sources of wireless interference for more information about interference and solutions.
Try connecting to a different Wi-Fi network. If your computer works fine when connected to a different Wi-Fi network, then the issue may be related to your network router or ISP. In that case, contact the manufacturer of your router or your ISP.
Thanks for coming to the Apple Support Communities!

Wifi connecting, after browsing it says i am not connected internet

aight i know theres alot of posts with wifi connecting problems, but i couldnt find a post similar to my problem. my problem is: my wifi on my ipod touch recognizes and connects to my internet (wep encryption) at home. for example- i go to yahoo.com the page loads completely but when i try to click on article it says "safari not connected to internet" but i am and i have a full signal bar. it loads to google but when i try to keep browsing it says "safari not connected"........? i tried everything from wat other ppl have said, reset router, turn off key encrpytion, reset my ipod, try turning on off my wifi, STILL NOT SOLVED. am i doing anything wrong? i really need help.
the guys at apple had no idea how to fix it. some networks i have no problem with works completely fine

Hi
I'm facing the same problem as yours.
I've seen lots of posts reporting the same problem, and Apple just doesn't seem to be worried about the problem.
Maybe everyone should keep in mind that iPod Touch is a limited equipment for internet access (and not the wonderful gadget they announce).
As long as users keep on buying iPods, a user's problem is not an Apple's problem.

Hi folks, you might know how to fix this: my wifi shows (no hardware installed) then I went to system preferences and deleted the wifi connection, I went also to system information and I can not see wifi listed on Network, how can I create a new wifi ?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

A1000 Wifi connection stability issue

I just received this A1000F tablet on last Friday. The wifi connection randomly stops responding, while the notification bar show it as connected. When it occurs, router activity panel reports it as inactive. Switching wifi ON/OFF on the tablet restores the connection for a random limited time. I tried many Wifi authentication setups without sucess. My other devices as Airport Express, Acer Laptop and Sony Xperia U work flawlessy with connection staying up for days without any simmilar issue. Device has been updated to latest available upgrade (Settings > About Device > System upgrade)
Kind regards

Experiencing this problem too but with some routers only

Is 3G shared internet considered as WIFI connection?

I have an iPhone 4S sharing the 3G internet connection with de iOS Hotspot option. My iPad WIFI is connected to that shared connection and the icon of a little chain appears on my iPad.
The questions is if the iPad will recognize that connection like a Cellular connection o WIFI special, in order not to do things like download/upload Photo Stream photos, iCloud Backup, Apps downloading things that only are configured to be downloaded from WIFI (like Instacast)?
Is 3G shared internet considered as WIFI connection by the iPad?
Thank you in advance.

Yes, The Shared connection is wifi, and all traffic throught the wifi connection is passed through the 3G connection. You have to watch out for what you have enabled when you leach off your phones 3g connnnection...You will go over your plan limits in a hurry.

WIFI connection Limited
