    Limited connectivity over wi-fi with no internet, but internet works with cable? help

    I turned on my computer the other day and it had a blue screen error that I didn't pay attention to (I know its bad) but when I turned on my laptop and it automatically connected to my usual wifi, it said limited connectivity and the internet won't work. I've tried all the general things, restarting computer, making sure wi-fi is on, and I know its only my computer because there are other laptops in this house that use the wi-fi and it works fine for them. However, with the cable, my internet does work just fine with no errors. How do I fix it? Help is greatly appreciated.

    Hi & welcome,

    Navigate your way over to the Network and sharing center

    Manage network connections

    Now delete the troublesom connection & start again (Re-establish a new connection).

    This should fix the issue.

    I have the same issue with my hubby computer. First it went to limited connectivity and i could not figure out why. so i deleted the connection and tried to re establish it. The problem is it keeps asking me to login with a password and domain. I have no idea what they want. I have tired the router login, the ips login to no avail. I can directly connect it but it uses a different adapter. I am at a loss as to what to do.

    Call your ISP provider for passwords.
    Friend had a similar problem with comacast. Called and they gave her the Password.
    May not be the same type of password, but there is potential
