Only limited access no matter which wifi I try to connect to on my PC

Hey,

so my situation has caused frustration for nearly 20 hours now since I am now entirely clueless. After setting up my new SSD and rebooting as my PC asked to do so, my connection to the router at home worked until an unknown point in the noon when it just stopped working. Only giving me 'limited access' and messages about not being able to connect to said router or hotspot, as this occurs to both my home wifi and my phones hotspot that I put up to test this issue.

I've tried disabling and enabling the wireless adapter (D-link DWA-547 Rangebooster), removing the adapter along with its drivers and reinstalling the drivers after a reboot. Windows diagnostics tool presented found issues which go along the lines of 'windows could not automatically detect this network's proxy settings'. And to add, all other (4) devices in the household are able to connect to this particular wifi but not my PC.

Constantly identifying and limited connection icon showing while it says connected next to the icon. Not using static ip, but automatic settings. I am not able to ping google.com for example, nor to ping my gateway since gateway is blank when I ipconfig in cmd, however I do receive an IPv4 address.

Any ideas are welcome, and my thanks in advance for anyone willing to help.

I am using windows 7, and if motherboard matters I have Z77 Pro4. Don't know if it does matter at all.

so you get ip from router that is somewhat promising,

A temp workaround might be to assign a static IP, (do the cheap and dirty high range of the ip addresses so it wont cause a conflict easily eg 192.168.1.200) this might fix it especially since you can tell it the gateway.

so you cant ping your gateway but you can get an ip from it is that correct. Even though the gateway is blank if you ping the gateway does it still work?

If the IP is all good and you can ping your gateway (command prompt ipconfig, default gateway should be listed) check dns by doing a nslookup, command prompt nslookup
something like nslookup google.com
see what that says if it works then you have domain name resolution. if not try something like
nslookup google.com 8.8.8.8

if the latter works and the first one does not try setting that DNS server (googles public primary dns 8.8.8.8 secondary 8.8.4.4) to be DNS usually by going to network connections right clicking on the adapter click properties find ipv4 double click and enter dns settings in their. This is also the same place to enter in static IP.
if you have IP connectivity and dns resolution then you should be good. Hopefully you can Identify the problem somewhere and fix it.
