When I connect to my Internet router through wireless, it says limited access and I can't connect to the Internet. How do I fix this?
Let's try to understand the problem first. You are getting message of Limited Access when you are connected to your wi-fi. It means you are connected to your Router but there is no internet or there is internet but your computer isn't able to recieve that. It means your LAN card is working fine. Now we have 3 different steps to fix this issue but before going further just restart your computer. 1. Disconnect your computer from your wifi and re-connect it. If this works then no need to follow other steps. 2.Go in Start menu and search CMD or Command Prompt. A black window will be pop up on your screen. You need to type further commands : ipconfig/release then press enter, ipconfig/renew then press enter, netsh winsock reset then press enter. Restart your computer and ta-da you have fixed your internet connectivity. 90% issue resloved by this step. Still you are facing the same issue then, follow 3rd step3. Restart your Router/gateway router. And follow step 2 before restarting and is it still doesn't work then contact your ISP (Internet Service Provider). At this point there is no issue in your computer. Because you are already connected to your network. It is just your network. I hope it helps. Thanks.
What does it means when a Wi-Fi is "saved" but not connecting?
As Tarun Desu said it can be that you reached the maximum allowed concurrent user limit, but some other explanations are possible:signal strenght is not enough for a sustainable connectionSaved password is not matching the actual oneLocal firewall is not allowing adequate use of the wifi interface Dns servers provided are not reachable or not workingDefault gateway is not reachableThere is an ip conflictDhcp server exausted available ip range or gives wrong setup Maybe someone is connecting using a mac address like yoursThere is some allowed time when access is granted...

Can we connect to WiFi without a SIM card?
Yeah, you can connect to WiFi without having a SIM card in your phone.Today almost every phone is designed in a way that the WiFi feature is present in them. In order to connect to WiFi you just have to ture your phone's WiFi on and scan for the available connections. After getting your desired connection seen you just have to click on that and it gets connected.In some cases after clicking on the desired connection you also need a password which the primary user would have set for security purposes.You can also connect with your friend's phone who should have to turn his Hotspot on, or with your home WiFi or Modem cum Router.However, I would like to tell you that the only condition is that your phone should have a WiFi feature in it.
Does Google Play Music need WiFi to function? If not, how can I listen to my music offline?
When I try to play music on my phone from Google Play music, on cellular data, I usually see this error message:(note also that the tracks are greyed out, indicating they cannot be played)I contacted Google Support in a live chat, and identified that playback works fine when I am connected to WiFi, but on cellular data it does not work.The support rep said I needed a “strong” connection (but for a long time could not clarify what that meant - more bars? 4G not 3G? higher bandwidth? shorter ping time?).I pushed a few times, and he finally clarified 3Mbps download is required. At home, my cellular data cannot supply that, but I will try when I am out next, and see if that’s true (kinda seems like he made up a number to get rid of me!).
Is it possible for mobile phones without a SIM card to connect to the internet without using WiFi?
If you just need internet in that phone (without sim & without wifi), then its simple — you can connect it over USB or Bluetooth to your laptop (which has internet, presumably over wifi, 3G/4G, LAN etc) and run an app like reverse DUN or use BT PAN or if your phone has USB OTG then even over a LAN.Tell me if u need names of apps and specific configuration instructions - you need to tell me what you are gonna use (ie laptop with bluetooth, phone model & OS, usb microusb cable available or not etc)On the other hand, if you want to use voice or text/sms services then there's no easy quick way to do that. But since i have needed to do this voice text stuff a few times i am giving the details & options below for anyone else searching around before asking it on quora (people do search before posting new questions, right? )Background: GSM phones use physical SIM for authentication to the network. CDMA phones dont use SIM but software/firmware or whats called virtual sim. Now telcos are shifting back to virtual sim with apple wanting to do that for various reasons. The original objective of SIM was to let the consumer easily change networks/ telcos without s/w issues requiring you to go to the telco.SIM is required to securely identify the account which is to be billed, to the telecom company. Securly, mainly so others cant make calls on your account and also for privacy etc.You want to make a normal voice call ? Use skype or google voice number to make the call. Or any of the voip services. This assumes you have internet over WiFi.If you need to send text messages then that can be done too with sms gateway services.If you want to receive calls on the same number then the only option is to have that number working for 5 min so you can forward the calls or verify it for fwd to google voice.If you want to recieve text messages on that number then i haven't been able to find a solution to that. Yet. Once i needed to recieve OTPs on an Indian number which always refused to work in Europe so i put that sim in an extra phone left at home with sms forwarding app running (connected to charger and with backup wifi internet on !).Finally, if you want to make calls and want that same number to be diaplayed on the receiver’s phone then that's not answerable on quora !
Can an Android smartphone send/receive SMS texts via wifi?
The reason why Android smartphones can send or receive a text/call via wifi is because they follow 2 protocols : ToIP (Text over Internet Protocol) and VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol). In case you’re wondering, these are the same protocols used by instant messaging services like WhatsApp.Wikipedia says that SMS is “text messaging service component of most telephone, World Wide Web, and mobile telephony systems.” Note the phrase World Wide Web - this basically entails that SMSs can be sent over the world wide web, which is essentially the internet. It is important to understand that it is the app that decides whether you can send your texts over the Internet, and not your phone itself. For example Android Messages, Google’s default messaging service, recently got the ability to send text messages over Wifi. Similarly Messages, Apples default messaging service, can also send iMessages to and from a large variety of devices, including Macs that traditionally do not have a telephony modem. How? Through WiFi, of course.Now I do not know the technical details of how exactly a text/call goes over the internet - you’re going to have to do your own research on that. Just know that it is in fact very much possible for (new) Android and iOS smartphones to send SMSs via WiFi.
My Samsung series 5 ultrabook can't connect to any wifi connection?
i have an samsung series 5 ultrabook 14'' and the other day i tried to connect to my usual work wifi connection but after a few hours it started to connect and disconnect by itself. i think i turned it off and tried to connect the next day but i couldn't. I input the right password for 2 different connections and it wont connect. It says that the computer couldn't connect to the network, i run the troubleshoot thing and it gives no solution. I first thought it was the router or the modem but i can access the same routers and connections with both my iPod touch (5th generation just in case) and my samsung galaxy nexus. Trying to convince myself it was my work connection, i went home and couldn't connect either. That's the wifi i used all the time and now it gives me the same connection problem. That's when i realize it wasn't the router or that i got wrong the password a thousand times. I don't know if it just coincidence or something but just after it started connecting and disconnecting, i plugged my samsung galaxy to the computer and started tethering via usb and the internet worked. Maybe that changed a setting somewhere? i don't know, need help.
Why is my phone saying network not available?
I thought I had lost my phone a few months back, turns out it was lost behind the back of the sofa! In that time I had phoned my network provider which is O2 to have the sim cancelled, I received a replacement SIM card which I had been using in an old phone, after finding my phone today I put it in the phone expecting to be able to use it, but no it's not working? I have no signal and it says 'Selected network O2 not available' I've tried everything, battery pulls, cleaning the sim, using it in another phone, resetting the phone to factory settings but nothing seems to be working? Also yes I have been walking around trying to find a signal etc, help please!
Why does it take so long to download a 170 mb file to my Galaxy Nexus via Barnes & Noble Wifi?
How long does your Galaxy take on other WiFi systems? Run speedtest, and then run it again when you get home.
