I have a Toshiba Satellite M45-S331, and a Belkin wireless router. Through the router I have two desktops (not wireless) and two Laptops(wireless) networked. My laptop is the only one having problems with this. More often than not, I boot up and it tries to connect and it comes up saying Limited or No Connectivity. I could be across the house or in the same room with it. Sometimes when we reboot the router it helps and it works for a few days, but sometimes it just doesn't work. Can anyone help with this problem?

Sounds like faulty wireless in the toshiba. You could try to give it a static IP. This will solve the "limited or no connectivity" problem because that usualy occurs when an IP address is not issued. However, if the laptop is faulty it may not stay connected to the router even though it looks like it is. Could you find out your routers LAN IP address and its DHCP range (will be in the routers configuration page)

Welcome :)

I would also recommend testing the Static IP.

Another test would be to goto the Network Card/Device Properties and look for the Duplex setting. It is usually set to auto. Try the other settings.
