So I've been troubleshooting for two days now and have run out of ideas. A few days ago I bought a new router, the TP Link wdr3600. All my other devices connected to it perfectly, but one of my laptops, running Windows 8.1, establishes a connection to the router, but then shows Limited Access, and labels my wifi as 'unidentified' and 'public'. This laptop worked fine with the old router a few days prior.
The strange part is that the laptop connects perfect through ethernet, but when I connect with wifi it grabs a valid ipv4 address, default gateway, subnet mask, and dns server, but cannot access any websites. When I ping my router (192.168.0.1), it varies with "request timed out" and "Reply from... Destination host unreachable." I've also tried pinging google's dns (8.8.8.8)
So I've done a lot of troubleshooting to try narrow this down. When I booted this laptop with a live Ubuntu cd, I was able to connect it to the wifi and it worked perfectly. I've tried using a static ip. I've also messed around with the router's security settings and other settings to see if it would fix it. As for as network driver's go, this laptop's official wifi driver doesn't work with windows 8, so it is using the default Broadcom network driver.
I would greatly appreciate any insight on this problem,
