Hello, I have been having a very persistent/annoying problem whilst trying to connect my fourth system through my wireless router. As of now, I have an HP and an Xbox360 hooked up via ethernet cable and a seperate computer hooked up wirelessly. All of these work fine. The problem with the last computer started about a month ago.. I suddenly started getting "Limited or no Connectivity" bubble at the bottom of the screen. In the beginning, I could fix this by turning the router off then back on, but that does not work anymore. First off, my computer (2.8 GHZ Sony VAIO) is able to find the network at 54m's and with excellent strength. When trying to connect, it will say "network connected," and then then will be stuck on "aqcuiring network address" for like five minutes, then switching back to the "Limited or No Connectivity," which as such I have absolutley no access to the internet. I have tried every possible related solution on this site but nothing seems to work. I have rebooted, reinstalled, and rerouted all my modem and router, but that shouldnt even be a problem seeing all of the other computers work. I also tried anything associated with an IP address conflict. My default IP is set at 192.168.1.1. All of the other systems on the network use 192.168.1.10x. I have gone into the properties tab and manually configured the IP address as well. It is strange when I do this, however, because after manually configuring an IP it will say "Wirless Network Connected" at the bottom of the screen, appearing to be fixed , but I still have absolutley no access to the internet. I'll share some of the wierd symptoms it's been having:
With IP address set to auto configuration, computer remains with "Limited or No Connectivity" for about 7/8ths of the time. Occasionally there will be a hiccup where it will load half of the Yahoo! home page, and stop.
When configuring my IP address manually, everything appears to connect almost instantly, but still no access to the internet.
I have tried running an ethernet cable to the computer as well. It informs me that my LAN is connected, but I still recieve "page cannot be displayed" in the internet browser. I do not know if there is a step in activating this that I skipped, but the computer used to run via ethernet before I got the wireless about a year ago.
I have been to the router website, changed my SSID, disabled security, and everything else there that could be a problem.. didn't seem to work... It would take forever to list all of the different solutions I have tried, but seemingly all of the easy "quickfix" solutions do not work. One thing that I need to point out, however, is that when I attempt to type in any of the ipconfig commands into my Run box, I recieve errors on all attempts saying "the command could not be found... please make sure the name is right bla bla bla" (something like that) I don't know if this is significant or not, so whatever.
I honestly am at the end of my rope here. This is hands down the most frustrating network problem I have ever had.
I've had this same issue. I have two PC's that connect just fine. I have the router on basic settings (auto ip, broadcast, and no security) and I have ComCast broadband cable.
After the 2 pc's though, nothing will connect especially via wireless. The 2 PC's are connected lan. I have one Wii, and 2 Ps3's in the house and none of the gaming consoles will connect to the wireless. I will try resetting my modem and router again here shortly, incase it just wants everything renewed, but I am broadcasting as well and have had no luck.
Any other solutions would be welcome.I've had this same issue. I have two PC's that connect just fine. I have the router on basic settings (auto ip, broadcast, and no security) and I have ComCast broadband cable.

Would you consider an environmental or systemic reason.
Environmental
-- there are many more wireless devices out there including a class
that broadcast on two wireless channels simultaneously. You may be
having contention for the radio bandwidth not just from other routers
but devices like wireless phones. Consider changing you channel from
the probable default of 6 to 1 or 11. If the first change does not work
try the second. (also keep your wireless router/access point away from
the cell phone base station.)
Systemic
-- There is a belief that networks with hidden SSIDs and WEP or
WPA encryption experience interruptions some of considerable duration of
service manifesting as disconnections registered by the coProblem connecting 3rd computer to internet - 1.gifr's wireless adapter. Unhiding the SSID has cured these systems.

Have you checked that the charger is working? Try connecting it to another charger. Leave it connected for about 10 minutes and see if it will turn on whilst connected. If so the problem may be that your charging cable is faulty.
If all your connections are wired, you can use one of the three following solutions.
1. Purchase a router with more then 4 LAN ports on it.
2. If the printer or any of the computers have a wireless network card, then purchase a wireless router and simply connect 4 LAN cables and 1 WLAN.
3. Purchase a hub. Connect 3 computers to the first 3 LAN ports on the router; connect the hub to the fourth LAN port and then connect the last computer and the printer to the hub. In essence both your computer and the printer will share the same IP address (the IP given to the hub) and they should work.
In any of these situations, connect the internet connection to the WAN port of your router.
1. Click on the wrench icon on the main screen to go to system settings.
2. Go to internet (3rd page)
3. Click connection settings.
4. Where it says 'None' next to 'Connection 1' click.
5. Select 'Search for Access Point'.
6. Select the access point that comes up that is your internet connection.
7. If it asks for a security key you'll need to input this, if you don't know it it will either be on the bottom/side of the router listed as network or security key. If it is not there you will have to login to the router setup on the computer.
hello, you need to wait for sometimes, probably an updates is going on from the sites. make sure your internet connection is fast. and if the problem persist, try it on another network and computer.
Verify you have the correct WEP key, if its wrong it will look like it's connected but not do anything, you could aslo try to connect via a cable into your router to confirm it works, if it does then you have a WEP key issue, if it doesnt then you need to dig a little deeper.
I imagine you reset/unplugged all of your routers, switches, and computers, starting with your modem, then router, and then each system?
There is a setup disk that need to be used to program your router with the ISP settings, passwords, and protocols for port forwarding, etc. I imagine you tried that.
Did you try all of your cables to make sure they weren't defective?
If you tried these,and the problem persists, the issue is a defective router. By default, the unit should transmit a wireless signal, and be ready to act as a routing switch for your other systems.
Hi,I would suggest you to first trying unplugging/ switching off your device for 5 minutes. This restores and refreshes the device. Go for it Let me know if this works, if it doesn’t then I’ll provide some other alternative solution. Thanks
1. what is the model number of your wireless adapter?
2. what is the operating system of your computer?
3. how far is the laptop from the router?
-- try to change channel on the router
-- try enabling wireless security on the router and on the wireless adapter
-- diable other 3rd party firewall on your laptop
