Saturday December 1, 2007

having similar problem, just picked up a laptop and trying to connect to the internet via the router in the next room, i’m getting a “connected with limited access” problem and it cannot identify the network. tried rechecking the connection key and it’s correct, and all the other computers in the house are connected, however, my new laptop can’t.
At the beginning of November, I bought a new wireless N router. It worked great up until a week ago. It now says connected with limited access. I can still use the internet but it is slow. It’s like being on dial-up. It took 5 minutes for this page to load. I can’t figure it out. Everything is connected right and when I try to repair, it says that there are no problems. I’m ready to pull out my hair!! I work at home so having quick access internet is extremely important.
Hello,
I got same issue. Thanks for showing me how to download a Microsoft Hotfix. unfornately I could not install the hot fix on Window Vista Home Premium x64 SP1 because it said it were not apply on my system. Anything wrong with it? Any advices would be appreciated.

I’m having same problem, all other laptops in our haouse can connect and keep the connection but mine keeps losing the connection then saying ‘connection with limited access’
i’m running windows Vista on a Compaq laptop with wireless router. Help!
I have the same problem, this new notebook is getting me crazy, can anyone tell me how to resolve this??
Same problem. PS3, iMac and iPhone all work great on wireless network. Brand new Compaq laptop with Vista, not so much.
Same here. Has anyone found a solution?
nope
all you need to do iss is turn the router off at the wall for 5 mins or so the turn it back on that will work … or disconnect your connection via you computer/laptop and refresh and connection that will take several times and a longer process but will work in the long run
ok here what you need to do guys
and enjoy
just change your WEP Network Key to NUMBERS ONLY
do not use any LETTERS on it then go back to your laptop
and connect again
do not waste your time trying to install hotfix
as so many vista will show this message ( this update does not apply to your system ) even after updating to Vista SP2
give it try
for whom that have no idea how to change the WEP Network Key
log into your router and go to Security and change the WEP Network Key
Have Fun
