"Limited connectivity" means you did not obtain an IP address from the network. Type "ipconfig" at the command prompt to check - if your address starts with 169, it is an invalid auto-assigned address. Normally you would get an address in the range 192.168.x.xxx if it is working. Did you get a wireless connection but just no IP address? In other words, does your computer indicate "connected to xxxxx" (your wireless network name)? Check the router using a wired connection to get to the admin pages. Look for SSID (name of network), security settings and DHCP settings. Your security should be set to WPA2 (and the pre-shared key should be entered in your computer's wireless settings) and DHCP should be turned on and should have a defined address pool. DHCP is what assigns IP addresses; you can define a range of IP addresses to give out (the pool). If none of this works, please post more detail such as your router model and exactly what messages your are seeing.
