Big update I got past the limited connection but now I have another problem. I'm using the IP adress and other stuff from the sony laptop my dad has but the toshiba wont connect. Why? It's driving me insane
Sounds like you have manually set the IP which already belongs to your Dad's computer. ??
Only one device can use that IP as assigned by the router, at any one time.
Go to
Control Panel - Internet Options
Select the Connections(tab) then press the LAN settings button
No information should be entered in any of the spaces.
Be sure to add a checkmark/tick in front of the line Automatically detect settings
Go to Control Panel - Click on Network Connection
Double-click on Local Area Connection
Click on Properties (button)
From Local Area Connection Properties panel scroll down and double-click on Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
On the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties panel – (General Tab) no items should be set for IP address, subnet mask, Default gateway nor DNS server address
Instead, the item - Obtain an IP address automatically should have a dot-mark in front of it.
Click on the Alternate Configuration(tab) – again, no items should be typed in and "Automatic Private IP address" should have a dot-mark in front of it.
Report back with your observations.
For instance… Are there any of those items typed in that I mentioned should not be?

In your response it appears that that Router is "not" enabled.
Therefore only one machine can be connected at a time.
AND, the connected machine may have to have the Verizon configuration software installed.
OR, you need to enter your father's username and password if using Windows Zero configuration.
