I have a TW cable modem with a Linksys wireless router; frequently I get a message that indicates the signal strength is "excellent" but I cannot get online and the "limited or no connectivity" message appears in the wireless desktop application dialog. I can get on via a neighbor's unsecured network, but not my home network. what can I do?

Most often the problem with having a flaky network connection, even though the signal strength is "excellent", is because your wireless network is operating on the same channel as another nearby network, and the two are interfering with each other. On most devices, the default channel is 6, so that channel is frequently filled by neighbors who don't know enough to change the default setting. Despite what the other Answerers on here have indicated, Limited or No Connectivity has absolutely nothing to do with the wireless signal. You can get the same message on any hardwired network connection - it just means that your network connection is unable to initialize certain setup requirements, like negotiating with the other devices on the network and getting an address.
Log in to your router and change the channel (should be under basic or wireless settings) to something at either end of the spectrum - 1, 2, 10 or 11 and see if that improves it.

The problem is that although your wireless card is connecting to the router it is not getting an IP address from the router. This is probably because you have likely not entered the password required by your router on your wireless card during set up of the card .. fix that and it should solve the problem..

Check your settings where it says unidentified network to see if it's set to public or private it should be private if not click on customize then private and it should identify You may have to do this on the host computer (computer you used to setup router)

Maybe the router has settings blocking you out. Maybe the router is set to a lower power than your neighbors, the higher the power setting, the wider the frequency. Limited or no connectivity means your too far away to pick up a good signal.

I had this problem with Belkin and had to call the company and get them to walk me through resetting my entire setup. After that, it fixed the problem. There was something wrong in my settings. Prepare to devote about an hour to fixing this, but it is really worth it not to have this problem. It's VERY aggravating.
