Wireless Internet keeps dropping (Limited Connection)
I wondering if anyone can help me out with my wifi problem. Basically, what happens, is, every 30-40 minutes or so, my Laptop disconnects from the internet and shows the symbol with a yellow triangle in front of it, saying Limited Access.
I don't know how to fix this.
My wifi is Intel Centrino wireless-N 2230.

1, newest wireless drivers installed?
2, is it the only device that does this on the wireless network?
3, does it disconnect on other wireless networks?
4, have you checked the power plan settings - to make sure it's not set to disconnect after given time?
5, newest router firmware?

but don't use wireless for this, use cable.
or.... try changing the security settings on your router , i.e : change your password
or...... your wireless adapter on your laptop/pc might be faulty

I just read that you recently got the laptop, the wireless adapter may be switched off. Press the Fn key and one of the F keys along the top of the keyboard. You will see symbols on the F keys and one should look like an aerial giving out a signal (mines F2),

If it was.a problem with the phone line the WiFi would still be 'connected', but it would give a dsl connection error. That's what's been happening with mine. Noise on the phoneline appears to be dropping the dsl connection, 3 engineers later and it still isn't 100%

yep, wireless is off, that's why it keeps disconnecting every 30 minutes...makes perfect sense...not.
Test with ping then tune your MTU down to an optimum
