When it says connected with limited access, try to ping the router. To do this go to start > run > type 'cmd' without the quotes. When the black window opens type 'ping 192.168.1.1' without the quotes. If you get a reply, then type 'ipconfig' without quotes. If your address is 192.168.something.something then you've got an address and you network is fux0rd beyond the router. If you don't have an address like the example, try typing ipconfig /release and then ipconfig /renew
If it wont let you do this because of administrative access rights, go into your control panel, go to user accounts, uncheck the box that says something like 'user account protection' and try again.
A limited connection means you computer can communicate with the router (usually) but isn't getting a response from dns servers or any other host beyond the gateway (router).

I have the same laptop. The main thing is to be somewhere you can connect the best at. When it says disconnected try to move your laptop around til it says "conected" the thing about laptops is theres a certain amount of space you can put between the laptop and the actual internet conection pervider!
