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.

netsh int tcp set heuristics disabled
netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled
netsh int tcp set global rss=enabled
netsh int tcp show global
if you see only the first is enabled ,the sixth is none the nineth is 3000, the others are disabled that's OK
i recently know this , no idea if it works ,just try
i only get disconnects and limited internet errors when im using certain windows 8 apps on my w700. now i use firefox and only use the music and video apps, which dont seem to me a problem. i havent had a disconnect since. its clearly a problem with win8 not the hardware.
Okay, I think this time Acer really fixes it. You need to download the latest wifi driver in Acer's support page for this tablet.
Then, you need to go to your device manager and uninstall the network device. Reboot it. Then go back into device manager again and you should see unknown device. If you don't, remove the network device again and reboot. Once you see that unknown device, install it's driver by browsing into the folder where you extract the wifi driver.
This has fixed my issue for good. This has been my longest run without limited issue, at least.
Please note that just by updating your driver won't fix it. You have to remove the drivers completely so that your machine shows it as unknown device then install the latest driver.
This tablet is now an awesome machine!

i had this problem every day since i got the w700 up until yesterday (about 3 weeks). it has been a full 24 hour without "limited internet" and NO disconnects. all i did was i stopped using google chrome. the windows 8 app version of chrome seems to be the real problem, bu i still experienced disconnects using the desktop version of chrome. since i downloaded and started using firefox, i have had zero disconnects and everything is working smooth. i would prefer to use the app version of chrome since it is so nice. but i will have to wait for a fix. this might be your problem too.
