I'm using a router, my laptop is working fine, but my desktop saying limited connectivity, so how do I fix it?

Answer 1

R click on the network icon in the the taskbar and select the repair option. That will release and renew the connection. This will refresh the connection and assign a new IP address to the desktop.

That should restore connectivity.

If that fails, power all the devices down, including the router and modem. Once all are off, begin to power up the devices from the wall "inward". First the modem; wait a minute or two until all the lights are stable. Next the router, again waiting until all the lights are stable. Once the modem and router are on then turn the PC's on and network connections will be properly assigned.

Good luck

Answer 2

That depends. Is your desktop computer too far away? If it's inside a normal house, then it shouldn't be.

Right click the little wireless connection icon in the lower right corner of your screen (near the clock). There should be a button that says "repair." Click it and see how it works.

Answer 3

Is it connected wireless-ly or with a cable?
Turn off any firewalls if it's wireless and try logging into your router through your browser.
