hi im having a bit of trouble connecting to the internet with my broadband router. i will note that i have been using the exact same router for the past year and have had no trouble untill one day when it would just not connect. The router is bthomehub and when i open network and sharing center it tells me that there is limited connectivity (not the case for other computer in the house) but the signal strength is very good. Ive tried all options on the windows network diagnostics but am still having trouble. please reply with suggestions any help will be much appreciated.

Try a wired connection to the router, tell us if that works.

I tried a wired connection and that did connect me to the interet succesfully.

1st check to make sure your DHCP is correct do an ipconfig from a command prompt and make sure your IP address starts with 192 if it starts with 169 try re-entering your WEP security key, i had this problem once when i connected to a "public" wi-fi when i got back home it was setas default to the "public" one rather then the one in my house

First off, remove all the stored wireless network profiles, then try to connect. It should prompt you for the network key, make sure you use the right one.

If this fails, I'd remove encryption from the router as a test and see if you can connect that way. In addition, make SURE you don't have MAC filtering enabled and are locking yourself out that way.
