Hello,
Referring to the title, I can't seem to connect to the internet using my laptop's WiFi connection for the past week. The wireless connection always shows 'limited'. However, the internet works fine when the laptop is connected using the Ethernet cable. I tried to ping 8.8.8.8 using my wifi, but the request always times out.
My laptop is a HP ENVY dv4-5205tx model (Windows 8.1, using Avira Antivirus free edition) using a Ralink RT3290 802.11bgn WiFi Adapter. The router I'm connected to is a TP-Link TD-W8970 model.
I only started having this problem recently. Prior to this, I have been able to connect to this router, and also different routers. Other devices have no problem connecting to this, only my laptop.
Attached is the ipconfig file generated in text form while it is connected to the router.
@jobeard I read a thread where you helped to solve an issue similar to this, so I hope you could provide some assistance if possible.
Thanks for reading, and hopefully something can be tried out. I'm trying to avoid reinstalling my OS as a way to resolve this.
