Since installing 8.1 Pro, I'm having issues with WiFi dropping internet connectivity and always showing "Limited" when clicking on the system tray icon. When I troubleshoot the problem using the system tool it is always the gateway that is faulty. I have uninstalled/reinstalled the device drivers several times, installed the newest drivers directly from Intel, restarted the computer, etc. I can restore connectivity by turning WiFi off then back on, but the connection will drop at what seems to be random intervals. My applicable system specs are as follows;
Lenovo Y510P Laptop
Windows 8.1 Pro
Intel Centrino Wireless-N 2230
Apple Time Capsule router w/newest firmware
Needless to say this is quite an irritating bug that didn't exist prior to the update to 8.1 I hope this can be resolved quickly. Thanks!

2014-08-09T08:12:56+00:00 You would right click on the driver install file after you downloaded it from the manufacture. That would only work in older drivers or by tricking the OS to not use more current standards. If you start a new thread we can fix your issue using a safer and future ready permanent fix. Post a link here so I can find your new question thread you create so I can look into your issue.

2014-08-09T07:25:21+00:00 Could you clarify which file to right click on? I've tried clicking on the entire file under drivers labeled "kona intel wireless driver" and that didn't have a compatibility tab. I tried the same with a few application files in that folder too, and none of them have a compatibility tab.
