My router says it has a full signal strength but it cuts in and out and states limited signal strength when there is full signal strength? is there something i've done wrong or a softwear issue ?

Sounds like there is an issue with the firmware. Or an internal issue with the device itself, Try a firmware update within the settings page. If the problem persists look into replacing.

Do you leave the router switched on all the time? If not then this can be your problem as some routers can take up to 3 days to get full signal strength and keep it. When switching the router off and powering back up it has to search for the signal again. It will happen whether you are wireless or cable. If you are wireless and router is always on it may be where it is located, walls can interfere with the signals so try moving it to another area to see if that helps.
Limited connectivity If you get a 'Limited connectivity" on you wireless connection on your laptop, it means that the wireless card on your laptop probably did not get an IP address from the wireless router. To fix this problem, right click on the wireless icon on the Task bar and then click Repair. This will force the wireless router to issue a IP address to the wireless card on the laptop. Also try resetting the wireless router by turning off the power to the wireless router for a few minutes and the boot up your computers.
Your computer isn't set up to properly get the right IP address and dns information. If you contact me I may be able to walk you through getting it set up correctly.
limited to no connectivity with a wireless system means that it is not picking up the signals from the internet device you have, check if everything is plugged in properly and that your internet connection (modem) has enough strength to be able to be wireless.
Routers generally have a 1000 foot limit, at the edge of the limit, the pc can see the router but usually will not connect, anything under 40% signal strength is usually not a connection that will work. Try moving the repeater and also try adding an amplified antenna,they are about 50$.
do you have security on your wireless network, password etc. like WEP, WPA, WP2 and the likes. that would be the first thing you need to check, second is the type of wireless card and router you are using, on the laptop you might have a wireless N router and a wireless N card on your laptop which might require higher security. you'll need a WPA2 - personal for the key. that you can configure your wireless router manufacturer. hit me back.
it sound like to me that someone is logging on to your router set up your laptop with wep or wap with 128 bit enycription and let me know how that works
have a go at changing the wireless channel within your router there may be some interfearence generated by your pc that is affecting its signal strength
