I'm here to offer a possible solution to a common and likely frustrating problem. Here it is: your wireless connection keeps on saying "limited or no connectivity" and when you look closer it turns out that it has been unable to find an IP address to use. Well, it could be that the clock in your wireless router is not set properly, most likely in the past; possibly by several years. When your computer requests an address from the router it gets one, but the expiry time for that address is in the past. Your computer, obedient thing that it is, doesn't use that address since it expired long ago. Now, I can't go into detail on how to set the time for your particular router, but at least now you should know what you're looking for.
