Title: DWA-645: "Limited connectivity" under WinXP
Post by: xo-vision on July 27, 2007, 11:25:25 PM: Everytime I boot my Notebook I have "limited connectivity" although all settings are correct. After I use the "repair" function everything works ok.

Is there a solution where I do not have to repair manually every time?

Thanks and cheers,

Chris

Do you have 802.1x authentication enabled by any chance? Windows got it enabled after one of the security updates. It also gives that "Limited Connectivity" message.

Have a look under Properties of the wireless adapter > Authentication tab. There is an option there "Enable 802.1x Authentication". Un-check it.

Hi Chris,
I have seen this problem before with the DWL-G122. What fixed my problem was the power management option. Just go the the Network Connection Properties, click on the [Configure...] button next to the "connect using" box and go to the "Power Management" tab; uncheck the following option:

That did it for me! Good luck!
