ELI5: What is actually happening when my computer has "limited" connectivity to a network (yet it appears to have no connection)?
gpt
In at least one case (I guess there are others), "limited connectivity" means that the computer is able to connect to a network - for instance, the WiFi provided by the router - but not the internet - for instance, if the router doesn't have a connection to the ISP. That means it would be able to send data via network that are destined for the internet, but it will not be able to be sent there because the way out is blocked.
