Limited Broadband access

When im online I get a great connection but sometimes when im on my laptop I hover over the internet icon and it says "Limited" and "No internet access".  I tried using a cable from my router to my laptop but still the same problem, does anyone know why this is or how it could be sorted?

Re: Limited Broadband access

Do you have your Windows Updates fully up to date?
It could be that some of your Network Drivers aren't quite up to date, from my experience.

I have just checked for Windows updates on my laptop and it says my laptop is all up to date and my laptop has automatic windows updates turned on anyway

Re: Limited Broadband access

If you are using Windows 7, it might be worth heading into the 'Network and Sharing Centre' and clicking on 'Manage Wireless Networks' - select the Plusnet Wireless option and remove it from the list.
Once you've done this, connect to the Wireless again from scratch (You'll need to re-enter your Wireless Key again) and see if this clears the problem up for you.

If you take a look here: http://www.thewindowsclub.com/wifi-profile-manager-windows-8 - it should give you an idea of where to go to do this.

Re: Limited Broadband access

I have this problem once or twice a week - cured by a reboot.
