I have a HP Pavilion g6 Notebook (LM837A) which I bought in June of 2011. It as been working flawlessly until a standard windows update on 2/18/12. Now although my wireless signal shows as excellent whenever I attempt to connect it continually comes up with a "connection was unsucessful/this computer currently has limited connectivity" error message.


I've tried multiple things to correct this problem including a system restore, uninstalling my Norton Antivirus and even trying an external usb wireless adapter to try to go around the problem but even that wouldn't work! I'm one step away from sending my computer in to HP to get looked at but I'm coming here for my last hope.

Anyone with any ideas for help??

For months, I myself had problems connecting to the internet through my AR5009 Atheros Wireless Adapter and and everything that I did to fix it ended in futility until last Saturday when I figured out that it had nothing to do with my wireless adapter but everything to do with the settings from the modem that came from my Internet Provider.

I suggest you contact your Internet Provider and if they have a Wireless Division, then ask for technical support with their wireless division and have them go into your modem settings through the settings for your modem over the internet and see if they have the correct settings for your modem.

Also have them check to see if you hae the correct Security Settings. My Internet Provider found that I had the incorrect Security Type Settings and the wrong Encryption stype of setting. After discovering that, the incorrect settings for me were corrected and now I enjoy the internet through my wireless adapter.
