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.

    You may also try this simple trick that consists of using the Windows Network Diagnostics and applying the suggested repair.

    It worked for me (on a Acer Asprire One). The description is here: http://codeplete.com/article/windows-8-connection-limited/

    I returned my Lenovo Yoga 13 last night.

    It is pathetic how a company can sell us a laptop for over $1,000 that does not even work with Wireless correctly. Perhaps it is Windows fault due to windows 8, but from my research it seems like an issue with the wireless card within the laptop not being compatible with windows 8.

    I cannot leave my house without having connection issues. Lenovo has no answers, Microsoft has no answers, no one has an answer.

    I think people who do not return this item are just fueling the fire. Why give us an answer if they are still making money.  RETURN RETURN RETURN.

    The product itself is great... but I need internet access to do work, communication, and use this machine.

    Pathetic.

    Please go to Acer Iconia W700 Support, Download the latest WLAN Drivers (Just released in March 2013) and install. The problem goes away.
