Let me explain the meaning of this connection error: Limited or no connectivity: The connection has limited or no connectivity.

Sometimes, it might be a false error report, and your computer may access the Internet. But in most cases, when you see this error message, your computer will not go online.

A few trainees asked me whether this Limited or No Connectivity error is associated with WiFi.

My answer is no.

Though this "Limited or no connectivity" error message mostly shows with a wireless connection, you can expect the same even with a wired connection.

Though it is not a WiFi error, most people see it on WiFi devices. The reason is simple. The distance between the Wireless Router and your WiFi device is near the maximum wireless radius. Your device detects the WiFi and connects. However, your device cannot send or receive data through this weak network.

So, your wireless device shows this error - Limited or no connectivity: The connection has limited or no connectivity. You might be unable to access the Internet or some network resources.

Now you understand the reason for the Limited or No Connectivity error message.
