Why does my wireless network keep showing "Limited?"

Using a new laptop....   the first few weeks, I had no troubles whatsoever.  Then I began having a problem keeping a strong wireless signal.  Pages will not refresh.  I may lose signal all together for several seconds.  I can either go to my wireless network and Disconnect and then immediately Connect again - or - wait for several seconds and refresh my pages.  In place of "Connected" beside my wireless network, it will say "Limited" while I have that weak signal (or no signal at all.)

 

There have been no new wireless devices of any kind introduced since this began occurring.  The laptop in question hasn't changed position either.

 

I have called my isp a couple of times.... different techs had me change settings to no avail.

 

I purchased a new, apparently stronger/faster/better router and that has also made no difference.

ok. i am not expert. but what would i do if i have similar simptoms?

1) in internet explores in internet options in security and privacy put all levels to zero. no protections.

2) deactivate any antivirus, firewall, etc...

 

and have a look how's it going?

if ok. means you have some problem with windows os.

 

if still disconnected probably your wireless card has issue.

i would try to update driver for wireless card.

 

also you need to update bios. it's a mast...

 

i think mostly it has issue with your windows os. maybe you install then uninstall many programs, corrupted registry.

or 2 programs trying to do same thing in same time. distructing each other.

remove that disk which come with router and do all settings manually.

 

don't put extra rubbish in your computer.

he will feel not happy about it. at's why some problems arise.

make him happy. don't put many programs.

 

reinstall os and don't install any programs at all. check how's your internet connection.

if ok then slowly add some programs and keep looking for problem occur.

 

next try to put your computer near wireless router. in wireless router try to choose wpa-psk encryption through router page. acess in many cases 192.168.11.1 check router documentation.

 

if near you someone using wireless router in same channel. change channel for your wirelless router. to avoid interference with other routers nearby.

 

try to release your ip address throug ms dos prompt. ipconfig then iprealese then iprenew

check your internet connections with other computers. are you behind firewall, need a proxy?

manually setup dns and proxy settings.

 

contact your internet provider for more information regarding proxy.

 

if nothing help. then buy a few battles of bear have a rest little bit. relax. finish them. and try again. if still not working properly. buy more bear until problem solve.

 

hope it help.
