Windows 8.1: WiFi dropping and/or "Limited"

Abumusllim, Thank you for your reply. I had thought you were talking about a computer setting not the router setting. This would not be an issue for me, since I was already using my router to filter by the mac address. Your information might be able to help someone else though. I have tried so many various solutions. My computer does seem to when I roll back to the prior network adapter settings, but it goes against my better nature. I don't seem to be able to find any current driver that works like it should for Windows 8.1. It's the little things, but I have finally decided to quit being quite so **** and accept what works.

SureIt’s in your router settingsIn the address bar on internet explorer ( or any browser ) type:192.168.1.1will be asked to enter user name and password ( u should know it! if not, try: user: admin pass: admin or just type in pass: admin )Now look for wireless settings click on it, u should see mac address somewhere there! ( Depends on the type of router you have )Sami alasad

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!

You will notice on Intels support site a link to complain, I would try that.

There appears to be a new driver for the Intel Centrino Wireless-N2230 for windows 8.1 here.

Hope this works for you.
