Hi,

I am using a ASUS laptop. I currently cannot connect through wifi, although I can see different wifi networks are being detected as full strength.

My laptop says the word "limited".

How do I fix this? and is it because of my Kaspersky virus protection software?

Any prompt replies would be greatly appreciated.

It is definitely not a password to the wifi network problem. It says I'm connected but it says 'limited' and wont let me use the network.
