try pulling the power from the router for a 20 count then plug back in - reboot. if that does not work, try the same with the modem.
Wireless network, limited access?
Windows 7 says there might be a problem with the driver for the wireless network connection adapter. I don't have an internet connection because of this, in the network connection troubleshooting I clicked on ''try rhese repairs as an administrator''. Then it states that the problem has been detected (but not solved). What can I do to fix this? I've tried reseting the modem and the router, going to a friends house to try his internet and even scanned the pc with spybot and avg internet security wich turned out clean. Any help?:4-dontkno

By the way here are some details, you can see this on a screenshot I posted on my previous reply. I had a connection problem so I used the connetion troubleshooting and I saw a message that says there might be a problem with the driver for the wireless network connection adapter. It says that I'm connected but that I have ''Limited Access''.
Hello,
Try uninstalling/reinstalling your Realtek Wireless network adapter from Device Manager. Here's how. Have your CD Driver ready.
Please update us.

ok, so basically I uninstall it then I follow the ''To reinstall a non-Plug and Play device'' to reinstall it, right? And why should I have my cd drive ready?
Sorry if I have so much questions,it's just that I fear not being able to reinstall it after I uninstall it.

The CD driver contains the driver for your wireless network adapter.
Well, you shouldn't worry about uninstalling it, because none of your network adapters are being recognized by Windows! :smile:

I tried it, rebooted and still the same.
In device Manager, uninstall ALL the network devices and then reboot the machine and let Windows discover them again.
Thank you very much! 
ray: It solved the problem instantly. I rebooted and had only to wait for the drivers to reinstall and input my network key. Again, thank you for helping me solve this problem. :wave:
