My internet connectivity is limited and after several restarts of both my router and computer, this bitch is still limited. Microsoft has terrible explanations on how to fix it, what do I do. I'm using WiFi.

No data cap. The WiFi signal on the bottom right of the desktop has a yellow triangle over it, and when I click it it says limited next to my network. It shows that I have full bars, yet I cant access anything on the internet

Oh , i don't see the problem then . probably just some kind of program or script interfering with the Registery of windows.

No, the internet does not work. That is the problem. I can't go to any website, and I'm offline in steam.

Hmmm, does the internet work when you connect to the router with another device?

Yes. This is a problem with windows 8, every other computer is fine except for mine. Other people seem to be having the same problem after doing a Google search, yet there is still no explanation to why this is happening.
