Our laptop suddenly won't connect to the internet. We're receiving a "Limited Access" message and when troubleshooting, it cannot find the problem.
I've restarted the router and laptop, but nothing has changed. The Wi-Fi does work on our phones and Playstation though. Anyone have an idea on what it could be?

Network card problem.
Or an IP address conflict.
Unfortunately this is where my expertise is limited.
Hang around for someone to help you out.
What you could try is...
Open device manager, check your network adapters, and try to download and install drivers for your network card manually.
Maybe lack of drivers is causing to show limited connectivity.

Tried the driver update and it didn't work either. Thanks for your time!Ah...
Btw which windows are you using ? windows 7 ?
Anyways you can try this as a final resort at the command prompt
netsh winsock reset catalog
netsh int ip reset reset.log hit
After typing those two commands restart your laptop
Try again to connect.

Nope. Didn't work either;( I'm using Windows 7. look brother idk that if it'll work for you but I have the same problem so I just goto the network and sharing centre => Change adapter Settings => then I disabled the other adapters say local area connection and other was wireless network connection (Microsoft Virtual WiFi miniport...) and let my wireless connection (Atheros xxxxxx.....) enabled which was by default now its working just fine...
My OS is Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and network adapter name is atheros .... whatever and secondly i did not update the drivers

Just had this problem and tried every restart, reboot, reset and release all to no avail!
I then tried uninstalling my AV (the latest avast free) and finally this worked for me.
I have seen that this is an issue with other AV's so try uninstalling and see if you can connect. You know then that it is the AV.

I have limited computer knowledge, no pro here but can find my way around stuff apparently. Lenovo laptop with windows 8. I uninstalled AVG and this fixed my prob with havi ng limited connection at home and friend's homes. The other day I accepted a free trial of extra AVG protection and it seems to have been the trouble. Maybe the settings were just too high but hey this works for now. Hope it can help others. I will now reinstall regular old free AVG as it worked like a charm for me prior to a couple days ago. Have a little think people at what you have changed on your pc recently.... and best wishes!!

Suddenly our laptop will not connect to the internet. The connection says Limited Access. When I run troubleshooting it says it cannot find a problem. I have restarted the router and laptop and still will not work. However the WiFi does work on phones and PlayStation. I know this thread is old but I have the same issue. I know you said you restarted the router but in my case I have to unplug the actual ISP modem (Time Warner in my case) then the router for at least five seconds. Then I plug the modem in then router. Once it boots I will have internet again for however long it may be. I have to do this once or twice a day. I have found out other people are stating that buying a better router fixes this issue which I do believe because I have noticed a lot of routers are only rated to handle so many devices simultaneously. Hope this answer helps someone.

I found out years ago that certain A.V. products cause connectivity issues. Drove me nuts when it first happened but I noticed it the A.V. also came with it's own firewall which was the issue. Best advice I can give it to stay away from A.V. that comes with a firewall or at least disable the firewall and just stick with basic Windows firewall
