How to fix limited access problem − Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Windows 7 (Connected via Ethernet cable)

The most common reason for the limited access Wi-Fi problem on Windows computers is the router (and/or modem) itself, which for some reason have stopped distributing the Internet connection properly.

To address this, restart your router, and/or modem, via the power button, or, even better, by unplugging them from power, and plugging them back in after a couple of minutes (e.g. 2 minutes).

Another reason for the limited Internet connection issue is a program running on the computer. If it became unresponsive, for some reason, it might have disrupted all the processes on your computer, including the Internet access.

Restart your computer and check if the error message will reappear. A more effective solution you can try is to turn off your computer, and turn it back on after a couple of minutes.

Maybe the Ethernet cable has been accidentally misplaced, on the router's or on the computer's end, causing the limited connection error to appear.

In this case, what you need to do is to disconnect the Ethernet cable on both ends, and reconnect it, firmly.

Maybe the reason for this issue is the ISP provider itself, which has technical difficulties. Contact them, let them know of the issue, as well as all the courses of actions you have taken, and if it is on their end, they will fix it. 

The Windows network troubleshooter is a powerful utility designed to address network-related problems, one of them being the limited access issue.

What you need to do is to run the troubleshooter and follow the on-screen instructions. To run the troubleshooter, right-click the Wi-Fi icon in the lower right-hand corner of the screen and click on Troubleshoot (problems).

The limited access problem can be the result of an outdated network driver. Updating your computer's drivers on time is a must, to prevent errors outdated drivers can cause.
