Invalid IP address
If you are using a wireless internet connection on your laptop and are receiving the signal from a public internet host, then your limited connectivity is probably a result of an invalid IP address. The DHCP server that is hosting the connection is not giving you the right address. To fix this:
1. Right click on the wireless connection > Click properties > Click configure.
2. Click the driver tab on the top.
3. Uninstall at the bottom.
4. Reboot your computer. The wireless connection should automatically reinstall and work properly.
Router messed up
The best way to fix a bad router is to restart it. You should disable the connection and unplug all the connectors. Wait ten minutes and then replug everything and start up the router. The wireless Internet connection should return to normal from limited connectivity.
Password changed
It is also possible that the password setting on the HP wireless has changed. In this case, you should look into the setting from your computer and change it back or log in properly to connect fully to the Internet.
