I bought an Acer Iconia W700 and upon using Wi-Fi i noticed that my connection kept getting interrupted. It says i have "Limited" connectivity. I thought it was a temporary server or router problem, but upon further observation ( with my Ipad on the same network) i found out it was only the Iconia who is exhibiting the problem. I complained and had the unit replaced after a day but sadly, the new replacement is having the same problem.

it looks like we are not the only one having wifi problems. people with
lenovo yoga 13 also have the same wifi issue.

Yes, Surface RT has the same issue and I've read about it.

Since my Windows 8 desktop is working fine, the problem is more likely to be with Windows 8 on battery operated devices. So, in this case, Acer can't help us, I suppose.
I have the thomson tg789vn and was shure it caused the problems so had my isp bridge it and plug in my dlink dir-635, it's better but not good.. infact it's even disconneting while downloading the new wifi drivers tp try if it fixes it -.-
If anyone finds a fix for this (or acer sorts it out....) I would be very happy :)

looking forward to your response from acer:)i called them today they just advised me to try this new driver..
Yesterday, I called Acer and do you know what they replied..!!!
The CSO said I was the first having this problem and no one ever reported such issue yet.
Ha ha ha. I really wanted to show them this forum topic.
She also asked me the same thing, update driver, reset default settings etc.
If it's still not working, then, they said come down to service center.
I think, I will go to the service center this weekends.
i found and copy/paste this advice by user chev65 over at eightforums.com. can
you try and post back if it work or not. thanks
"Winsock entries tells Windows 7 how to access your network services. Additionally, your TCP/IP protocol can be corrupted. The TCP/IP protocol is a stack of 4 layers that includes several transport layers, but when this stack is corrupt you will constantly have connectivity issues.
Type or copy each command one at a time into an elevated command prompt then hit "enter" after each one, then reboot your machine.
netsh winsock reset catalog (reset winsock entries)
netsh int ip reset reset.log hit (reset TCP/IP stack)
If it's something on the wireless side then you should install Xirrus wifi inspector. A screen shot of this will show me the wireless landscape your area and adjustments can be made from there.

Also try to disable any antivirus software running (completely uninstall if free) and re install drivers and/or
update router firmware if any.
