Windows 8.1 Wifi showing "limited" or "No Internet Access"

Note: First create a system restore point.

Then right-click the ’Start’ button to access ‘Control Panel’ option and select it.
Next, chose ‘Device Manager’ option.
Next select ‘Network Adapters’ and under it, you will find a Wi-Fi controller listed. Select it.
Right-click the controller and click the ‘Disable’ button and hit ‘Ok’ to apply the changes. See if it helps. If it does not help, re-enable it and proceed to the next step.

If the above steps not working, then try doing the following.

Open an admin-level command prompt in Desktop mode, type the following commands, and hit Enter after each command:
Code: netsh int tcp set heuristics disabled
Code: netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled
Code: netsh int tcp set global rss=enabled
Then type the following and hit Enter, to verify that practically all the settings are disabled.
Code: netsh int tcp show global
Finally, reboot your machine and see if this helps.
You can try this also:-

1. You can do this by going to Device Manager:
2. Right click on your Network Adapters that is limited(Wireless Network Adapter) or you can double click to it, go to Driver, go to Update Driver:
3. Then "Browse my computer for driver software:
4. Then "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer":
5. You see two drivers for the same xyzcom adapter.
 One by xyzcom, the other from Microsoft. Choose the Broadcom one and  Install it.
