Wireless limited connectivity

I finally got all problems resolved to find another one. I made my router require a WEP to access it wirelessly, and disconnected my laptop from the connection. When I reconnected I come on to find myself greeted with "limited or no connectivity" after being connected to the network.
What should I do? Why did this occur and how do I fix it?

Well my laptop is approx.....4 feet from the router. but I have an even bigger problem now. I reset the router to factory defaults via the reset button, and now I am faced with a whole new set of problems. Now I am completely unable to access internet because it has been reset, and I have no clue as how to configure it myself.
Easylink no longer works, it says it does not support my router(and it worked the first time, because it is the ONLY thing that got it working properly).
Also when I try running the install disc, it says the router cannot connect to the internt even though all of the lights show it should be.

Connect E2000 to WRT160N wirelessly?

I ve tried to read previous similat posts but dont quite understand if its possible or not. I just got a linksys E2000 hoping that the signal would reach the whole house includung the backyard pool/area but it doesnt. I want to try to connect my WRT160N wireless ly to the E2000 in hopes that I can place it near a window next to the pool to extend my wireless range. is this possible? If not what are my other options? (outside of the obvious - move the E2000 closer)

You would have to run a cable from that router and get the second router to act like a switch

Limited Connectivity after logging into wireless network?

I have a questions in regards to logging into my wireless network from laptop. From laptop I experienced a connection but a "LIMITED CONNECTIVITY?" In other words a connection was confirmed but unsuccessful, it says? How do I fix? Thnx!

Make sure you enter your correct Network Key, limited connectivity error normally occurs when you enter a wrong/invalid network key...

Wireless guest users are getting limited connectivity.

Could anyone help please, I have a wireless guest solution consist of :
WLC located internal in the network – all the AP are associated with that WLC-.
Anchor WLC located in the DMZ . the guest SSID are tunneled from the internal WLC to the Anchor WLC, the DHCP service for guest users is on the Anchor WLC.
NAC guest server to authenticate the guest users.
The solution was working properly but now we have a problem that if any one tried to connect to the guest SSID if he is authorized or not , the user will get IP address from the DHCP pool and now as you know most of people has smart phones and they try to get internet access. Now only 5 or 6 people authenticated with NAC gest server and the DHCP pool become full because too many people tried to connect even they do not authenticate.
so if any user trys to cnnect he will not get IP address from the anchor controller and getting limited connectivity.
if I add static IP address on my Laptop , I will be redirected to the authentication page and can access normally.
I am working in big environment 7,000 users so I can’t go with increasing the DHCP pool because the problem will not be solved.
I hope if anyone can help in this case.
Thanks in advance.

This is a pitfall and raising the eyebrows.. currently we do not have anyother option other than using a WPA-PSK + WEB AUTH
that is..
PSK will block the users to just grab an IP and sit!! , if the user enters a valid PSK, he will get the IP address and followed by the Web auth process!! this may help u as of now.. or just a work around.. to overcome the IP exhaustion..
Please rasie a PER with your accounts team to raise the severity on this issue if u have the contract n all with us!!
Please dont forget to rate the usefull posts!!

Help Hacker/No connection/Limited connection wireless problem

I have a WRT 54G router. A few weeks ago spyware got on my computer because my virus/spyware protection did not update (Pccillian). My virus program also says an unauthorized person is on my wireless connection and it gives me an IP address. But it can't get them off.
Someone recommended downloading AVG and McAfee wireless protection program. I downloaded the AVG programs and my computer works a little better, but I still got the pop-ups and someone was still logged onto my wireless.
I downloaded the McAfee wireless protection and now I cannot log onto the internet. I have a wireless signal, but it says "no connection" or "limited connection." I had my windows program try to repair the problem and it gets to a point where it is renewing or changing an IP address and it tells me it can't do it and to contact the program manager...
Does anyone have any suggestions? My computer is a dell laptop. Thanks/

Yes that is so true TheRiot. To get rid of the free loader go into your routers user interface and boot him out. You can set up WPA or WPA2 security and they will not be able to use your wireless network any more. Make sure your SSID is NOT linksys so you should change it to something you can idetify as YOUR wireless network.

Conflict with WRT160N and Windows Wireless Network Connection

I have a WRT160N router connected to a Verizon FIOS cable modem with five computers (all Windows based) wirelessly connected to the N router. Four of the computers auto detect the N router connection when the computer starts up using Windows Wireless Network Connection and operate well. One of the computers, which is the only one running Easylink for router configuration, will not connect through the Wireless Network Connection. I have to use Easylink to manually connect. The WNC gives a msg that Windows cannot configure this wireless connection and to configure the wireless connection using Wireless Zero Configuration service. When I configure WZC correctly the WNC sees all available networks and allows me to select the Advanced Wireless checkbox to allow Windows to connect to the wireless network. However, when I reboot the computer none of the configuration parameters are saved and I am back to manually connecting using Easylink and going through the entire process again. Any suggestions? Thx

Uninstall the EasyLink and connect manually. I think EasyLink 3.0 or later is coming soon ..

Having lag problems on the XBOX 360 - connecting to WRT160N wireless router.

Having lag problems when playing on the XBOX 360(wireless connection) after we installed our new WRT160N wireless router. Looking for ideals on how to fix this performance problem?
Cable Conpany: Comcast
Modem Model: zoom
Wireless Router Model: Linksys WRT160N

A few more thoughts:
- Changing the channel settings does NOT achieve anything. I manually tried every setting with no success.
- Changing the encryption settings did not help. I tried "open", WEP and WPA and none of them work.
- Even when this problem shows up, the xbox360 wireless adapter successfully finds and associates with the wireless network. It even manages to read data from the network - it just does it VERY SLOWLY and disconnects often. This causes extreme lag in xbox live games, which shows up as unpredictable play and disconnects from games.
- The fact that G-only mode works fine pretty much proves that this problem can be fixed with a firmware change. The xbox360 wireless adapter and the WRT160N can definately talk to each other using 802.11g successfully so there must be some issue with negotiating the correct version of 802.11x.
- I've considered trying a third-party firmware, such as DD-WRT to see if this fixes the problem. Has anyone tried this and if so what happened?
If you are seeing this problem, please reply to this thread and say so. If enough people respond perhaps Linksys will fix the problem. Even if you're not registered with this board, registering is very quick and easy so don't let that deter you.
Thanks

WRT160N won't connect my desktop

I just bought a WRT160N, this isn't my first linksys wireless setup so I kind of know what I'm doing. I get the cable modem hooked up the router then the router to the desktop, plug in the router power supply but on the set-up disk when it says to hook up the power supply to the router it always comes up and says error that it cannot set up the router. The lights are all on the router, when I got to my network and sharing center(VISTA) it says limited connectivity and the line from "This Computer" to "Network" is green but from "Network" to the globe for intertet is not and there is an X thourgh the globe. Then under that for Access ---- Limited Connectivity.
Any ideas, thanks a lot.

Inspiron 15 (3521) wireless 'limited'...but only at certain places!

I've spent days trying to resolve this issue on this laptop. I purchased it as a Christmas gift for my son, only to find that it's got a problem with wifi connectivity. What's crazy though is that it connects perfectly to my home router, and will connect perfectly at two different coffee shops/bakeries I've used for testing yesterday. But at a local Starbucks and at my sons work location (which is also a public hotspot) it only shows a 'limited' connection, and you get no Internet access. I was also told that it could see and connect to his iPhone in 'hotspot' mode or whatever, but couldn't get to the Internet thru that either.
Basics: Inspiron 15 (3421), Windows 8 x64 clean install, and all current Dell drivers installed (from the Dell site.)
Fwiw, I have a long tech background with computers and laptops, so I have no problem getting into and checking or resetting things. As I said, it has all the latest Dell drivers for everything on it, including the most current (as of today) wireless 1704 driver. Also, I've read numerous forum posts by others with similar problems, so I've seen many of the things suggested to try to fix wifi connectivity issues (i.e. set it to maximum performance, don't let the system turn it off, etc.) I'm still checking various posts for others ideas, but it's frustrating to have it working here at home and have to run up to a Starbuck to see if it's fixed or still flaky.
Even so, it seems to me that the evidence that it connects perfectly to some hotspot routers and my AT&T wifi router at home makes it pretty clear the hardware is fine. It does see all the hotspot routers and lists their names and it can/does connect and get an IP (verified via 'ipconfig /all'). So I think the laptop/wlan hardware is functional, but there's something wrong with the drivers or some setting that is enabled or disabled, or set wrong, that just doesn't communicate properly with some of the generic hotspot routers or configurations...like the 'Google Starbucks' hotspot down the street.
I think by now Dell must have a very good idea what the problem is, even if they aren't widely publicizing it for whatever reason. But I'd like to know what could make this thing not connect to some very public hotspot routers, and be just fine connecting to others. It has to be something set in the laptop that's making it overly strict or specific, such that maybe older routers won't work.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks...

I can certainly understand the frustration. It's clear to me, after a week of trying to figure this out that not everyone's connection problem was the same as mine, but I do think that what I found was something that should have been near the top of the list in troubleshooting steps. It was hands-down one thing that would stop all internet connectivity under some circumstances..but would work in others...and would never be obvious to most people--especially considering the info below:
Tonight I went back to a different Starbuck's to double-check that it was now working at all of them. At this Starbuck's---which I'd been to before---I still got the 'limited' connectivity. Lo and behold, the network IP4 setting still had the faulty 192.168.1.254 DNS entry, with the check box to "use the following DNS server address", though I know I'd deleted it since things were now working at the other Starbuck's. I removed it, but when I went back and reconnected it still wouldn't connect...and the DNS entry seemed to have reappeared. I tried connecting and reconnecting, but it wouldn't get past limited connectivity. Then it hit me...
What I suspect now might be a problem is that if you ever tried to connect to the router at a location, and either remembered it or choose to "connect automatically", it must be storing the settings for that particular network/wi-fi connection. It seems logical in hindsight, but it had not occurred to me that each wi-fi connection you connect to (Starbucks..the book store..etc.) may save whatever network attributes you had set in there at the start, and if they're wrong, you're, well, dazed and confused to put it mildly. I think that's why my faulty DNS entry was still in there for this location.
So, I finally completely deleted the connection for this Starbucks (i.e. choose 'forget this network' from the wi-fi list) and let it be re-detected cleanly. Now when I chose to connect...bingo! Got through to the Starbuck's T&C page and could finally authenticate and go on.
To restate my experience: I'd tried all the 'advanced' settings changes that so many Dell 'Rockstars' kept telling everyone to change--I changed power settings, strict H, 802.11b, 2300, MAIN, AUX, aggressive, broader compatibility, blah, blah..changed the back, the back again. I reinstalled drivers, borrowed drivers from old Win 7 batches, and even tried some odd Broadcom drivers. Not one of those things made any difference, but not one rockstar every suggested being sure you don't have a bad DNS server IP in there.
(Fwiw...I did finally settle on the WLAN 1708 driver, which worked and is running in there now, though I think the original 1704 driver probably was working all along.)
The steps:
1) Connect to the router showing 'Limited' connectivity...then..
2) Right-click the wi-fi icon in the Windows tray (next to the battery icon) and choose "Open Network and Sharing Center.
3) Double-click the name of wi-fi connection on the right (in blue, next to the little green wi-fi bars.)
4) Click 'Properties'..
4) Scroll down and double-click on "Internet Connection Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)
5) At the bottom, select ""Obtain DNS Server Address Automatically"....click "OK" and you're done.
You'll likely have been disconnected anyway, but best to just "Forget this Network" for this connection and let it be re-detected, and reconnect from scratch. Worked for me and I can now connect everywhere.
Best of luck..

Thinkpad yoga - limited connection - intel 7260AC (with solution that worked for me)

limited connection issue
i'm new to the forum, sorry for bad english
i've a brand new rhinkpad yoga, with win 8.1 and intel ac 7260 wifi card
first of all the solution that worked for me is moving from WEP to WPA2 protection with the router
the problem was that i wasn't able to connect to internet using wifi
i got "limited connection" and i wasn't able to access internet at all
windows validated the connection and obtained an ip, but it wasn't then unable to access internet at all, i also wasn't able to access or ping the router.
i also got an error stating the lack of the default gateway, but this one seems to be resolved by windows check and repair procedures
my router had wep protection, and i used it with no issues with 2 android smartphones, an android tablet, a mac and a linux system, and in the past with windows 7 and vista systems.
i've searched for solution all the night and checked everything
- system and driver update (via usb thetering)
- various command to reset network configuration
- unchecking selected check box in energy saving tab inside wireless property panel
but the only one solution that worked was the move from WEP to WPA2
hope this helps
my first post, be patient...

From what I gathered, about the Y2P Limited Wifi issue, this problem is solved by configurating a router to meet the computer needs. Once done, to fully implement this fix, it is adviced that you carry this configured router and use it every where you go, like a power cord. When you go to Statbuck in the monrining, be sure they hook up your router and return it when you leave. Alternitively, this can be done at other venues like the airport, hotel, school, work, etc.
I really don't know why people keep wasteing their time. Lenovo has chimed in and said this is a router issue. That said, the aformentioned advice is a formulated fix. Shall we put an end to thiese topics and get the forum moving again past the wifi issues? Like said many times, this issue has been fixed using the above reccomendation.

Using iphone as a wireless router connected to imac??

Silly question here, Okay is there a way to use the AT&T Edge network, via my iphone as my conduit to the internet, Yeah, i know its slow, but if I cancelled my DSL, that would pay for my monthly plan. In other words Plugging in my iphone to my imac not to sync, but as a satelite- Wifi internet receiver????

N8 and wireless router connectivity

I have a problem with my new N8.
If I use the N8 at home it interferes with my broadband wireless router (BT Homehub) resulting in my losing a wireless internet connection on my laptop. The laptop tells me I have Limited Connectivity.
I must thenkeep my N8 turned off and restart the wireless router in order to regain an internet connection on my laptop.
Thanks

Which BT homehub do you have (there's been three)?
Have you been into the routers settings and tried changing the wireless channel?

Apple Airport AP to WRE54G to WRE54G limited connectivity between range expander.

I have successfully performed a link between an
Apple Airport and one WRE54G by setting IP address of WRE54G to 10.0.1.100; Mac 255.255.255.0; gateway address 10.0.1.1: security disabled; identical SSID; and channel 1. The second WRE54G was given a different IP address of 10.0.1.101 with other settings identical to first WRE54G. The range expanders will link (both lights blue) when the expanders are within range of the AP. However, when the second expander is out of range of the AP but within range of the second expander, the link light stays blue for 4 seconds and red for 1second, approximately. A PC near the second expander exhibits strong signal but limited connectivity. Is there a way to configure the expanders so that they can be linked together on the infrastructure?

first off let me know "apple airport" support WDS (wireless distribution system) if it doesn't support WDS, i don't think expander would work with it...

Linksys E1500 limited connectivity to network

I have Vista Home on a laptop (all up to date) and when I try to set up wireless connection using a key it goes to 25% then times out. When I try to manually set up a connection I get limited connectivity and no internet. I have one other laptop with Win 7 and this connected with no problems, also one desk top connected with no problems. Kept getting the error 82BD0119 on the Vista laptop. Any suggestions???

So you can try the following steps So could please inform us the name of the ISP( Internet Service Provider )... So it all depends upon the ISP( Internet Service Provider ) setup...
If you want to configure the router with the help of the CD so for that you need to uninstall the existing Cisco Connect Software from the computer...
Reset the Router and power cycle the network...
Make the following connectivity Modem ----> Router -----> Computer... Then install the Cisco Connect Software... It will help you in configuring the Router...
