I'm currently experiencing loss of internet connectivity. My wifi is working on my other devices, phone, iPad etc. but on my Windows 10 laptop the wifi signal shows as "limited" and I have on connection. Anyone else having this issue and/or any suggestions?

First try rebooting the modem/router and see if you get a connection. Next would be to use a ethernet cable and update the wifi driver manually from the vendor/manufacturer.

Yes, try using a wired Ethernet connection if that is an option.
It'll serve two purposes....
One as Jim has said, allow you to perhaps update the driver for your wireless adapter, and
Two allow you to determine if the problem is systemic for all network connections or unique and only involves the wireless adapter.

Check your ipconfig information and compare the results of your wired connection with the results from your wireless connection
