WRT54G Limited Access in Vista

I have an XP and a Vista machine on my wireless network. The Vista computer keeps going into limited Access Connection after it is on for a while. The XP machine never looses connection. To connect again all I have to do is disconnect from the network then reconnect and it works fine, but I hate having to do that all the time. My cousin with Vista and a WRT54G router has this same problem also.

Update firmware, perform hard reset. Set all settings again. Change wireless channel to 1,6,9,11 and check which is best for you. Change advanced wireless settings : change beacon interval to 50, fragmentation threshold to 2306, RTS threshold to 2307, DTIM to 2

Limited access message on Vista laptop

I have a linksys wireless g 2.4 router. I recently setup WEP security on this router.
When our Vista laptop connects to our network, it shows a "Limited Access" message below the SSID name. What does the limited access message mean?
Also, we noticed that around 8pm-11pm every night, our wireless speed slows down drastically. Every website we go to takes a few minutes to display. This happens on all of our PCs connecting wirelessly. Any ideas what to look for on my router that may cause this?
Thanks,
Jerry

Whats the Model number of your Router ?
If you are getting "Limited Access" on your Vista computer, these indicates that your computer is not connected to the Internet and its having only Limited access. So in these case you can change the security Mode on your Router to WPA Personal and then try to connect to your wireless network.
If you are facing intermittent connection problem on your wireless computer, then i think you need to change some settings on your router. Follow the settings bellow.
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...Leave Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
Set the Wireless channel to 11-2.462GHz...Wireless SSID broadcast should be Enabled and then click on Save Settings...
Click on Advanced Wireless Settings
Change the Beacon Interval to 75 >>Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304, Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 >>Click on "Save Settings"...
Now on your vista computer... Click on the Start button >>> Control Panel >>> Network and Sharing Center >>>Under tak you need to click on "Manage Wireless Network" and Remove all the Preferred Networks from the List and close the window.
Now try to re-connect to your wireless network using the WPA security key.

Vista - Connected with Limited Access???

Please help!!! This problem is driving me mad. Every time I try to connect to the router whilst wireless it says "Connected with Limited Access"? I then plug the cable back in and "ta dah" it works fine. I have tried almost everything and cannot understand the problem - can anyone help?

try this one out.. click start >> networks >> network and sharing center >> manage my wireless network >> and on this page remove all wireless networks listed and restart your PC.

Limited access after securing

I have just recently secured my wrt54gs router with a WEP security. My laptop however, when I try to connect, will connect to the network with limited access only. It will not let me onto the internet. I have tried new firmware. Powering off the router and resetting it, but none of it has worked. The 2 house laptops do the same thing. One is on vista the other on xp. The network will connect fine and will allow me to use internet as long as there is no security. Help Please!

You should really try to NOT use WEP security as it is easy for hackers to break. Use the WPA / WPA2-Personal as they are more secure.
You MUST be sure the passphrase / hexkey on EACH computer exactly matches the passphrase / hexkey on the router or they wont talk to each other. But I think you know that already as you have communication from PC to router.
Look under the 'Wireless' tab. You may have a setting on the router for Wireless security for "Wireless MAC Filter". This setting restricts what wireless devices can access your network (and thus the internet). I believe that if you don't specifically either disable the wireless MAC filtering (allowing EVERYONE on your network), or enable it and allow only YOUR machines (by MAC address) on the router, they won't get internet. I *think* you might be able to 'see' the rest of your network (because of the hexkeys), but not the internet.
But you need to use WPA or WPA2 encryption if at all possible. Then you would have to come up the 26 character HEX key (numbers 0-9 and letters a-f). Actually, I think it is 13 hex 'digits', each hex 'digit' consisting of 2 characters (0-9, a-f as above). You MAC address is an example of a hex string.
Hope this helps ya.

PC Laptop Has Limited Access on My Airport Express

I live on the third floor above a restaurant and I've allowed the owner downstairs to use my wireless connection. She is using a Dell laptop running Vista SP1.
She can connect, but she gets a message saying "connected with limited access" and apparently she gets disconnected after about ten minutes. Any ideas why this might be happening?

Hello Noely D. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Most likely, the wireless signal strength that is received by the PC downstairs it too weak to maintain or even create a connection.
I suggest downloading a copy of iStumbler. Use iStumbler's Inspector feature (select Edit > Inspector from iStumbler's menu) to determine the Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) at the locations where Internet access is desired. Within the Inspector, note the values for "signal" & "noise" at these locations. Start with your MacBook Pro near the base station, note the readings, and then, choose the downstairs location of the PC.
SNR is the signal level (in dBm) minus the noise level (in dBm). For example, a signal level of -53dBm measured near an access point and typical noise level of -90dBm yields a SNR of 37dB, a healthy value for wireless LANs.
The SNR, as measured from the MBP, decreases as the range to the base station increases because of applicable free space loss. Also an increase in RF interference from microwave ovens and cordless phones, which increases the noise level, also decreases SNR.
SNR Guideline
o 40dB+ SNR = Excellent signal
o 25dB to 40dB SNR = Very good signal
o 15dB to 25dB SNR = Low signal
o 10dB to 15dB SNR = Very low signal
o 5dB to 10dB SNR = No signal
If the SNR is 20dB+ at each of these locations, then you should be getting reasonable performance from your AirPort. If less, either try to locate the source of the Wi-Fi interference or try relocating either the base station or the wireless clients until they are within a 20dB SNR range.

How to set up full access and limited access wireless networks to laptops

Dear Apple,
I just received my Apple 1 TB Time Capsule. Can someone please help me with a network configuration I want to set up?
I have a cable modem, and, three computers: a G4 iMAC (system 10.5.5), an Apple MacBook (system 10.5.5), and, a PC laptop.
The Time Capsule is connect directly to the cable modem.
Regarding the computers:
(1) I want the G4 iMAC to connect directly, via an Ethernet cable, to the Time Capsule, WITH FULL ALLOWED ACCESS to the Time Capsule and to the back-up function of the Time Machine feature, and, with allowed access to my HP inkjet printer (class 6110);
(2) I also want the MacBook laptop to wirelessly link to the Time Capsule via the Airport utility on the laptop, and, WITH FULL ALLOWED ACCESS to the Time Capsule and to the back-up function of the Time Machine feature (using WPA/WPA2 security, and, without the network name visible to third parties), and, WITH allowed access to my HP inkjet printer (class 6110);
(3) I want the PC laptop to wirelessly link to the Time Capsule (using WEP security), but WITHOUT ACCESS to the Time Machine, WITHOUT access to the back-ups on the iMAC, WITHOUT access to the back-ups on the MacBook, and, WITHOUT access to the inkjet printer --- I only want the PC to use the Time Capsule as a WIRELESS ROUTER so that the PC laptop can access the internet.
(4) And, finally, I want to specify (Time-Capsule/Time-Machine/server ) access ONLY to the iMAC and the MacBook, so that others cannot gain any access.
I specifically need help to set up and configure the Time Capsule so that the PC laptop, as stated above, should have limited access to the Time Capsule --- namely, only to access the internet, and, not even be aware of stored data on the Time Capsule, not even be aware of the inkjet printer, and, not even see my WPA network name when the PC scans for wireless devices.
I also want the iMAC and the MacBook to have access to each other’s data stored on the Time Capsule (like a common server).
I have an old D-Link DI-624 wireless router that I used before buying the Time Capsule, which is available, if needed. Hopefully, I can configure the Time Capsule so that I would not need the old D-Link.
Thank you in advance,
David.

The basic method for remote access is not changed.
http://gigaom.com/apple/access-your-time-capsule-over-the-internet/
You have a few issues.
The really big one.. the school firewall should not let you connect to home.
Check the IT admin at your school but if they allow anything but a few protocols like http and https through, they are not doing their job. You cannot afford in a large network to have every Tom Dick and Harry access any open device.. that can introduce viruses and trojans into the network behind the firewall.
The general method for remote access on large networks is vpn and the TC offers no vpn connection.. just AFP.
If you intend using 3G wireless stick or the like then you can get access.
The next issue is static public IP or how to find the TC.. you need some way to find the IP if your ISP does not offer static ip, and the tc has no dyndns client. Since Apple shut down new users for mobileme and will close that service there is no method to find the TC IP without owning your own domain. You would be better placing the TC in bridge behind a router that does offer dyndns and port forward AFP (TCP 548) to it.

Apple mobile device support install/uninstall sets my wireless to limited access

Dell Pavilion dv7
Windows 7 64 bit.
Current itunes 10.4
When installing itunes 10.5, my wireless connection changed to limited access. I can not connect to the internet with wireless. If I put my ethernet cable in, i can connect to the internet through the ethernet cable.
I found no solutions to fix the limited access issue. So, i had to restore my system. After the restore my wireless connection could connect to the internet again.
But now itunes does not work. One of two messages come up. The latest (i have done several system restores). Either quicktime was not found or something about iTunes Library.itl is out of synch with the current version of itunes.
Now i decide to uninstall all the itunes installed products one at a time. Itunes, quicktime, Apple software update, Apple mobile device support and there it goes, my wireless connection changes to limited access again.
Any help would be great.

Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
(If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, can you get a normal iTunes install to go through properly now?
If instead you get an error message during the install (or uninstall), let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

Think disabling WMM on G580 solved wifi Limited Access issue

I'm posting this in the hope the hope that it may help someone else. I have a G580, model 20150 with Windows 8.1 and the Broadcom wifi card. Like many of you, I had the limited Access dropout issue. Here's the things I can remember trying previously:
Switching from the Microsoft Broadcom driver to the Broadcom driver.
Turning off power management on the Broadcom driver
Setting IBSS mode to just b/g
Disable Bluetooth collaboration.
Disabling all things power managment I could find.
etc...
The thing I found that seemed to fix it once and for all is going to the Advanced properties of the Broadcom and disabling "WMM". As I understand it, WMM is a QoS feature for prioritizing audio/video port traffic over data. Supposedly, you can't take advantage of wireless N speeds with WMM off, but I'll trade performance for not having to reconnect every 15 minutes.
I'm not going to mess with telling you how to disable WMM since there are tons of instructions and discussions on the interwebs. I also can't guarantee that it wasn't a combination of WMM and other fixes that solved my problem because I'm not willing to experiment on my finally working pc. My system has been constantly connected and going strong for 12 hours.
Good luck and I hope this helps.

Don't these usually work by intercepting the DNS quieries and then redirecting you to the gateway for authentication? Check your DNS settings and try to use theirs for the nameserver. Make sure something else isn't getting specified such as Google Public DNS.

I assume my Apple TV should allow me to view all events, albums and slideshows in my iPhotos app but it only allows four events and four albums to display on my television. I'm using a Optus mini Wi Fi for my home network. Could this be the reason for limited access via my iMac computer?

No, I have not chosen photos to share as I assumed that the Apple TV would access all photos and music that are stored on my iMac.
Thanks for your advice. I will check it out.

Limited-access user permission lockdown mode and allowing anon users to view list items

I'm working on setting up a public-facing SharePoint website that will need to support anonymous user access. I'm using the Enterprise Publishing Portal site collection template, so the Limited-access user permission lockdown mode feature is turned on.
Everything is working great, except allowing users to view a list item. One of the key features I was hoping to leverage was the ability to display custom lists on a web page using a List View web part. Then they could click on an item and see the DispForm.aspx
so the item's content was accessible, including any file attachments.
A real-world example is adding an RSS viewer web part to the home page and allowing anon users to click on one of the events to see the details of it. Currently, in lockdown mode, the users gets an authentication prompt.
I toyed with the idea of turning the lockdown feature off. However, I'm uncertain of the full impact that would have on security. For example, I know it will allow anonymous users to see who created and modified an item, which we don't want exposed to the
public (i.e. our employee names). Seems like opening a can of worms by disabling the lockdown mode...
Any ideas on how to tackle this would be greatly appreciated.

So far, this is the most promising solution I've come across:

Limited Access in parent objects not working

In my scenario I've a document library with several document sets. I break the role inheritence in the document set and provide individual permissions for users.
The thing is, that no limited access is granted to the parent object (list and web). Does that change in SharPoint 2013? I saw that the method AddToCurrentScopeOnly is new for developers - does SharePoint use that method, too for adding users?
Is there a way how I can change the behavoiur to the old one (like 2010)? Or what is the recommended workaround.
Thanks in advance!

Hi Fidy13,
In SharePoint 2010, it shows the Limited Access permission in the parent scope. For site administrators, it is very hard to manage site permissions because they cannot make sure where the limited users have permissions or not.
In SharePoint 2013, although it doesn’t show Limited Access permission in the parent scope, the users who have limited aceess permission can access the specified scope, and when you remove the permission in the specified scope, the limited access is removed.
It is convenient to site adminitrators to manage the site. So , I don’t recommand you change it.
Here is a similar post for you to take a look at:

Make WRT54G an Access Point Only

I need to make my WRT54G an access point only. I tried information contained on Linksys site, but I can't seem to get it to work.
I can access my wireless router and disable DHCP fine. But when I try to change the wireless routers IP, I'm instructed to refresh/renew. Once that's done, I can no longer access the router at the old or new address.
My Netgear wired router has a range of 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.0.50.
I changed the WRT54G to 192.168.0.49, but I can't access it.
I should note that my Netgear wired router already has a Cisco router attached to it for home access to my company via VPN and VOIP. Also, the wireless router is connected to the Netgear router via a linksys switch, but I don't think any of that should really matter ....

How do you configure the iMac so separate users can access each other's files, especially iPhoto and iTunes? I need to be able to transfer media between two users and not just gain limited access using 'share'.

Lenovo G400s Wireless Connection Limited Access on Windows 7 Ultimate - 32 bit

Just bought Lenovo G400s, install windows 7 ultimate - 32 bit on it.
It turns out the wireless network driver need to install manually, the disc driver that came with laptop was for windows 8.1. So I went to lenovo website, put on the series and download the wirelss network driver which is around 250 MB.
I installed the driver and connect to the wireless network. My office wireless was on security and use static ip. I changed the ipv4 ip static already. It connected for a while, 1-2 second then lost connection. I checked with ping to google, got 2 records of live connection which is very short. After that it try to reconnecting itself again and again with status said "Limited Access"
I search in google, read some forums about problem in different series, so I use another computer go to Intel website to download latest driver. Got it installed, but it's still the same.
I try download broadcom driver, but it's really different and doesn't work at all.
Now I don't know what to do.
Windows 7 Ultimate - 32 bit
Inter(R) Centrino(R) Wireless-N 135
Driver Provider: Intel
Driver Date: 1/26/2014
Driver Version: 15.11.0.7
Digital Signer: Microsoft Windows Hardware Compability Publisher
What makes it weird, although from intel website said the driver date is in 3/21/2014, and the version is 16.11.0, but this information I get from device driver was different.
Here's the intel's website if you're wondering:
_https://downloadcenter.intel.com/SearchResult.aspx?lang=eng&ProductFamily=Wireless+Networking&ProductLine=Intel%C2%AE+Wi-Fi+Products&ProductProduct=Intel%C2%AE+Centrino%C2%AE+Wireless-N+135#&OSVersion=Windows%207%20(32-bit)*&DownloadType=Software%20Applications
Can anyone help me?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Today I want to install windows 8.1 on it, because the laptop came with windows 8.1 driver disc.
However, I try the wireless connection once again , one final try before I clean install the OS.
It turns out the internet connection is connected. Ping is quite stable, got a small drop. Nonetheless, IT'S CONNECTED!!!
I don't know what happened, I tried thousand ways yesterday and gave up. Today I don't set anything just try connecting with static IP set the ipv4 just like I did yesterday, and it connects without hassle!! is there a pc fairy or what?
The possible way I can think of is the router's internet connection's got restarted since It's a new day at office.
Despite how it solved still mystery to me, I think I mark this thread as Solved.

I want to buy Adobe Acrobat XI Pro full version... Limited access vs. full access?

I want to buy Adobe Acrobat XI Pro full version, but I don't know what the difference is between limited access to online services offered by the full version and the full access that's offered by the month-to-month version. In other words, what would I losing by acquiring the full version, rather than just paying the $19.99 per month and get full access to online services? Can someone help clear this up for me? Thanks!

Hi dmoynihan0421,
The retail version of Acrobat costs around US449$ and the monthly subscription is available for a very nominal fee of 19.99$ per month.
The software is the same and there's no difference between the functionality of Acrobat except that in the retail version you have a serial number to permanently activate the software whereas in subscription Acrobat validates the license very month to check if the subscription is active or not.
The main difference between the two however is the Adobe Online services.
When you buy Acrobat XI Pro as a one-time purchase, you get only Acrobat software. No online services are included.
When you subscribe to Acrobat Pro in select countries, you pay a low monthly fee to get:
Acrobat XI Pro desktop software, including any upgrades
The FormsCentral Plus online service for creating and distributing web forms
The Adobe PDF Pack online service that makes it easy to create, convert, and combine PDFs in your browser
Acrobat.com for storing and sharing files in the cloud
The details of these services are as follows:
Adobe online services extend your Acrobat XI working environment to help you streamline and simplify your projects:
Adobe FormsCentral makes it fast and easy to create, distribute, and analyze forms. A desktop version of the online service is included in Acrobat XI Pro. Using the FormsCentral desktop app, you can create unlimited PDF forms for free from scratch or by using professional templates. If you subscribe to Acrobat Pro† or open a free or paid account with the FormsCentral online service, you can also use the desktop app to build web forms and manage form distribution and analysis.
Adobe EchoSign makes it easy to get rid of paper signatures forever. If you open a free or paid account with the service, you can use the Sign pane in Acrobat XI to send documents to others for signature approval and track results online. Recipients can sign electronically without installing software or creating an EchoSign account.
Acrobat.com lets you store and access your files online from within Acrobat or Reader on any device when you sign up for a free account or subscribe† to Acrobat Pro or Acrobat Standard.
Adobe PDF Pack lets you create, combine, and export PDFs from any browser or mobile device. PDF Pack is included when you subscribe† to Acrobat Pro or Acrobat Standard — or you can open a paid account.
Adobe Send is an Adobe online service that lets you send and track large files — including audio and video — without the headaches of email size restrictions. Paid subscriptions are available.

Rave
