• Limited connectivity Windows 8

  I have samsung laptop 64-bit of windows 8. The problem is that this laptop will not connect to the wifi hotspot, I create using another laptop of Dell in which windows 8.1 is installed. In fact my Samsung laptop connects to the wifi hotspot, but the status of the connection is limited. My cell phone and other portable computers connect with the same point of access without any problem. I use the Connectify software to create hotspot. The problem is only with the portable Windows 8 Samsung. Also, when I try to share data between the computer samsung laptop and another laptop using cable ethernet or shareit app, the connection remains limited which means that I can't share the data. But when I try to share the data using Ethernet cable or shareit app between my Dell laptop and a few other laptop computer, the connection is established without any problem and normally the data are transferred.

  I don't know why this is happening with my Samsung laptop. The problem is specifically with the Samsung laptop. Can anyone help?

• I have a V3-771 and since my Windows Update a few days ago, I'm getting limited connection

  I have Windows 8. I checked my network card driver, and he tells me that everything works well. However, when I have also studied this issue, I read to the contrary.

  I need to reinstall my drivers again, because I read that the current driver is incompatible with Windows 8.

  I would really appreciate an answer of what it becomes really frustrating with my internet cutting still intermittently. There was no problem before the update by the way

  Hello

  I did a PC refresh and after doing this once or twice to see the problem, I finally put my finger where lay the culprit.

  After playing with my router and everything else, I discovered that QCA Wifi pilot 10.0.0.217 and Driver Atheros 8.0.000.0206 blue tooth are pilots who have the conflict. In other words, these two drivers are those who make the "limited" connection

  Whenever I have these restalled after updating my PC my connection to the internet the computer became "limited." However, after my 3rd PC Refresh, I decided do not install these drivers. For this reason I have no problems whatsoever with my internet connection at all. No 'limited' at all. In addition, as soon as I start my computer, the internet is connected, whereas before, with these drivers installed, it was not the case at all.

  Obviously, there is a huge problem with these drivers. I had to, as computer illiterate as I am, should understand this.

• Samsung Series 9 - connectivity Wi - fi Limited 8 Windows

  I have a problem with my mobile Samsung Series 9, Windows 8 running and use a Netgear Sky router. Only, it connects via Wi - Fi for 5 minutes before returning to limited connectivity. "Intel Centrino Advanced - N 6235' is adapter

  I searched on the internet and it seems that dozens of people have the same problem with Windows 8.

  Please can help you, I am without internet & urgently need a solution please.

  Thank you very much

  KdS01

  The problem has probably been reached.

  Since your laptop, search for "cmd", and then select the desired result 'cmd.exe '.

  A DOS window opens, in the DOS window type this

  netsh wlan show all

  All WiFi around your laptop will now be listed individually with its channel number and the strength of the signal.

  Review the list and choose a channel which is less used (or not) and the lower signal strength.

  Don't forget, you only have channels 1 to 11 to the choice. They are to each other as much interference.

  Now go to your router and change the channel to one that you just took. DON'T worry that your router said on the selected channel.

  That sees your router is not serious, what is important is what sees your laptop.

  You may need to move with your laptop computer in your House to find a 'good' receiver spot. Another location in your House can give different results. In addition, you may need to repeat this according to how your neighbor of WiFi to behave.

  you have set in the router? Are there obstacles in the path?

  Actually try updating your driver and disabling the network logon.

  top - tab of the driver - write version - click on update driver (can't do
  nothing that MS is far behind the certification of drivers). Then right click on the Wifi

• HP Pavilion G6: HP Pavilion G6 - limited connectivity wifi problem

  Hello

  I wanted to clear some questions on my HP Pavilion laptop

  I searched online and most of the things have not worked for me, I realized that my wifi goes generally to limited connectivity when either, I take my laptop on my lap and the place on my bed (maybe its because fans are unable to expel hot air because they are blocked?) and when I put my charger.

  To temporarily fix this I go to the "network and sharing Center" and disabling and re-enabling my wifi, but sometimes, I noticed that I turn off and when I try to turn it back on, it remains as disabled so...

  I hope someone from the support team can help me, thanks.

  Windows 7 Home Premium Wifi grey symbol with a star yellow but fully connected to the internet.

  Have been able to fix it by uninstalling the driver wireless and re - install, but when the system is restarted it then returns to the same problem.  Tried to remove the data of the registry key 'TrayNotify' windows and stopping the same tried to remove "explorer.exe" and replace "explorer.exe".. even goes back to the same problem.

  It is likely that your computer sees and is seen by your router.  Gold Star means that it is connected, but the router will not assign an IP address to access the Internet.

  This is usually caused by a code password incorrectly stored (on your computer).

  Click on this icon.  Find your network.  Remove it from the list.  Now, after a small wait, click this icon again.  It should detect your network and ask for the password.  If you have entered the right code, it should connect you.

  If these steps do not resolve the problem, then it is likely that you would have a problem with your router - it might be inside a separate device or your modem.

  A restart of the modem and router can help.  Pull the plug on the modem and the router.  Wait 30 seconds.  Put the plug in the modem only.  Wait 30 seconds.  Put the plug in the router.  Wait 2 minutes.  If she can still connect, try re-booting the computer.
