Be sure you're not connecting to a different SSID instead of your

That's all done successfully, else I would not be shown the Limited /

Not necessarily. I can't parse exactly what you mean -- it would be
helpful if you didn't mash unrelated things together into too few words
-- but it's quite possible to get "limited connectivity" (which means
DHCP has failed) when connecting to the wrong SSID. If and only if (a)
the SSIDs are _unique_ and (b) you're getting a "connection" to the
correct unique SSID can you be sure you don't have an SSID issue.
