Cerberus Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 (edited) This seems to be a common problem which some have had luck with like myself while others still have issues. I am not saying this will solve your windows 8 or 8.1 wireless connectivity issues but it did mine.Under wireless adapter in device manager goto power management and uncheck to not allow power saving on this device.Under control panel\power options go under advanced settings and set wireless card to max performance.From Admin Cmd Prompt type:NETSH INT TCP SET HEURISTICS DISABLEDNETSH INT TCP SET GLOBAL AUTOTUNINGLEVEL=DISABLEDNETSH INT TCP SET GLOBAL RSS=ENABLEDNETSH INT IP RESET C:\RESTLOG.EXEIPCONFIG /FLUSHDNSI haven't had no more disconnect or limited connection issues since I did this for windows 8.1 and thought I would share.

Cerberus Posted January 5, 2014 Author Share Posted January 5, 2014 (edited) It couldn't hurt to try this on your XP machine....I haven't seen a lot of XP issues....most are windows 8 or 8.1 but like I said it is worth a shot. I have the Intel Centrino Advanced N 6250 AGN with WIMAX which is the card most are having issues with. Mine is running great now....in fact my upload speed is a little faster.

Rok Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 I've been using Windows 8.1 since October on HP Envy and Lenovo Ideapad S10 with wireless internet, but no issues of dropping so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerberus Posted January 5, 2014 Author Share Posted January 5, 2014 It mainly has to do with Intel Centrino wireless cards built into laptops. At least that is what I have read. Also if the above doesn't work you could try to install old oem driver for like win 7 and see if that works better then the driver windows 8 or 8.1 has. I didn't have to do that for my model of wireless card wasn't in its driver database. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerberus Posted January 6, 2014 Author Share Posted January 6, 2014 For those that still have issues and use the intel Centrino advanced-n 6250 agn try this driver....seems to work for those with disconnect issues.https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=23492&lang=eng&OSVersion=Windows%208*&DownloadType=Software%20Applications Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
