How To Fix Issue With Windows 8.1 Pc Wifi- Limited

[mandi12]

Day 6 since the problem began. I started having issues after a program installed incorrectly, uninstalled it & tried again-ending in another failure. I opened advanced SystemCare & cleaned registry, files, & used other tools-optimizing, cleaning, & fix small errors. After pc cleaned, I changed settings in my firewall (removed programs rules I no longer had). When my wifi started saying limited, I reset router, checked plugs/wires to be sure there was a good connection, the correct info (password & username) was being entered. Checked all other devices & all of them are working perfectly other then pc. I made sure my wireless network adapter driver was enabled, working & updated. I disabled my wireless network adapter then enabled it again-command prompt. I tried every troubleshooting option given. I tried accessing restore points i had saved but the pc removed them & replaced them with restore points after I began experiencing issues. I tried doing a refresh but received a message saying I didn't have a system image on pc, & my usb media recovery wasn't working. the first thing I did after getting my laptop was create a system image backup & a usb recovery media, which leads me to the next thing I had tried. I put my usb in my laptop & tried using it for a refresh or restore, but it kept saying to insert recovery media which was already inserted. I went ahead and used a restore point anyway, but it was unsuccessful & I tried 2 more times- each time being unsuccessful. I use my pc to work from home, I would appreciate it if someone could please help me fix this issue.

I'd hate to think what happens if you get a flat tyre. Sounds like your first step might be to dismantle the engine.

Looked at this several times yesterday, but had trouble in deciding on a course of action.
I believe this is a laptop (perhaps the OP can give us Make/Model No.?).

Wi Fi limited means (most of the time) your out of range. Did you connect by cable connection to verify an internet connection?

Looking at all thats been done to your pc, I'd suggest if the pc is still bootable that you make copies of all your documents/music/photo's and do a complete re-install of Windows.

I would also suggest that you do not re-install Advanced SystemCare. It is known to be a very aggressive automated registry cleaner and is also difficult to remove. Windows copes quite well with an untidy/scruffy registry and unless your an expert best left alone.

Methyl, my post wasn't aimed at you. I thought it was admirable that you attempted to solve the problem. The post was aimed at the OP, who seems to have had a small problem which he's tried to solve by throwing random (and in some cases, potentially dangerous) tools at, and then request help but failed to give a cogent and relevant explanation.

I'm amazed that nobody seems to have suggested resetting the TCP/IP stack. It fixes well over 90% of all wi-fi connection problems:

However if the problem is solely related to connecting to a particular router (rather than to connecting to any router), an obvious course of action is to manually change the channel used by that router.
