Cant access internet with new laptop, only limited access

Bump, help please

Thanks

No reason to bump. you have some type of conflict between the router and your WiFi card or the WiFi card is failing and can't get a good connection with the Wifi router. There is Nothing anyone on this site can do to help you. It is more then likely a hardware problem.

I will take a shot in the dark at this and ask if you can post your ipconfig /all output.

To run ipconfig:

1: Click on the Start Orb.
2: In the search bar type in CMD press enter.
3: once the command prompt opens type in "ipconfig /all" no quotes.
4: After you receive your output you can either use the snipping tool to post the image or you can right click on the command prompt select mark, Highlight all the text, Press enter, Then paste it in here.

Run the Command prompt again, but this time when you type in CMD look for the Icon in the search results right click on it and choose run as administrator then run the commands below.

ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew

Then run
ipconfig /all

post you're results again.

The ipconfig data you posted is from having the Eithernet cable connected and the WiFi card has a Default auto Windows IP address, "Autoconfiguration IPv4 Address. . : 169.254.229.153(Preferred)".

That means you are not connected to any Wireless signal at all.
Disconnect the Ethernet cable, Reboot the wireless router, Unplug it from the wall outlet for a second then plug it back in, Click on the WiFi network icon in windows, Find your SSID for your home wireless signal and select connect. you should then have to type in a Password. If you don't have to type in a password or it does not connect at all then you have a problem with the Router.

If you can connect then do another IPconfig.

If you are getting this Limited Connectivity warning without having a connection to a wireless router that is normal.

Much ado about Nothing.

I did the release and renew but it said error when i tried to renew.

Ok I have reviewed all your posts in this thread and I did not see what make and model router you are using. Please post the make and model number of the router you are using.

As to the Wireless (WiFi) connection you Do Not have one. The IP address the WiFi card in your computer is getting is a Generic Windows IP address handed out by Windows to any and all Network cards when it can not get one from a routers DHCP server. That is the 169.254.x.x address.

So you do not have a REAL IP address for your WiFi card.

MY router is :Verizon Actiontec MI424-WR Rev.F

So not having a real ip address is stopping me from getting internet through wifi? And what can I do to get a real ip address?

Thanks.
