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.

    If it was a Win 8 issue, it'd affect everyone. My tablet works fine. Granted, I don't have a W700. I'm using an HP TMT2 (originally Win 7). I'm just reading up on the W700s, as I plan to get one.

    I'm sorry to hear that.

    After uninstalling McAfee and reinstalling the latest WLan drivers, I have not experienced the Limited WiFi issue even if I switch from application to application (which access the internet) and from desktop mode to metro modem, which usually were the triggers of the Limited WiFi issue for me.

    Nope. Uninstalling McAfee doesn't fix the issue for me.

    I just read somewhere that disabling the McAfee Virus program and installing the latest drivers for the WLan has completely solved the 'Limited Wi-Fi Connectivity' issue at least for one W700 owner.

    Hope this helps.
