What does it mean when your internet says connected with limited access?

I have a windows vista that's 2008. My house internet went down yesterday so I had to take the plug out of the internet and plug it back in after 10 minutes. Then everything worked but today my laptop says connected with limited access but my iPad internet and iPhone works fine. So what to do? I tried everything on google but it didn't work. My sister said its like something I downloaded but I didn't download anything since like 2 weeks. So what to do?

Normally it means that you are connected to a "wireless network" but the pw is not correct or missing

Try this:

1 ) Open "Network and sharing center.

2 ) Choose the connection that you can see you are connected to, click on it.

3 ) In case it is wireless click on "wireless properties"

4 ) Click on "security" and check that the pw is correct.

5 ) If it is wired. Do the same or hit "trouble shoot" button

Also try: Find where you have your "network connections" to see if the correct driver is activated (wired "ethernet" or wireless adapter)

  • My laptop says the Wi-Fi connection is connected to the internet, but has no access? I'm using a Windows 7 laptop and I can't connect to the internet, while my iPhone and mom's laptop has internet access. I have tried resetting the router, used system restore and virus scans but there were no results. Does anyone knows how to fix this issue?
  • My laptop says 'limited connectivity' to my Internet access? My mother just recently bought five new iPhones, one for each of us in our family. We have Comcast Xfinity as our Internet data plan, and I'm wondering if the arrival of our new iPhones took up the limitation of Internet access in our house. Before we had iPhones, we just had three computers and an iPad in our house.So, is it the iPhones that took up most of our Internet connections, and if so, how do you expand the limitation of devices for our Internet connection?
