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.

I think I have found a solution to this. In the advanced power settings, go to USB settings and under USB selective suspend setting, disable both for power and battery.
This seems to fix my limited issue. At least, I haven't seen the issue coming back for a while now.
I've tried updating the driver as well and that did not fix my issue.
Thanks there.
I've changed my settings as you suggested.
I will report back my findings.
I hope, it fixed.

***EDIT***
Nevermind... it finally came back and haunt me. :( I'm still having this issue.

hope ms can solve this problem as soon as possible,but really ,after updated the new driver this issue happens less often than before, but still bothers me when i watch a video or download something, thats luck stuff- -
had a fewling it was w8 causing it as all w7 and android devices I have are working perfectly on the same network. Updated the wifidrivers now and started a 1.5gb download @ slow speed, plugged it in and set to high performance to see if it will crash again (no doubt it will, but will see..)
as this seem to be a common problem hopefully microsoft/acer/atheros update what ever needs updating and have it sorted. 2012 and you can't do something as basic as stay connected to internet on a brand new machine..
