Fix limited or no connectivity Wi-Fi issues in Windows 8 / 8.1

***Fix limited or no connectivity Wi-Fi issues in Windows 8 / 8.1***


THE PROBLEM:






THE SOLUTIONS:

Below are four tricks that will almost certainly fix that problem:

  • Reverting Network Adapter Drivers (try to connect after trying this one, if ayaw then follow the next instructions)
  • Use netsh.exe or Resetting the TCP/IP stack setting
  • Wake up your Wi-Fi Adapter
  • Enable Download over metered connections
  • Reset TCP/IP Autotunning




Revert Network Adapter Drivers

1. Go to Device Manager

2. Go to Network adapters and expand it

3. Now from the list, choose your network adapter (Wireless Network Adapter) that is showing limited connectivity.

4. Right click on your wireless network adapter and choose Update Driver Software..

5. A new window will open, in which you are required to click on Browse my computer for driver software





6. On next step, select, Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer





7. Check the Network Adapters, and see how many are listed. You may find two drivers here; one by Microsoft and other from the Manufacturer.

8. Choose the Manufacturer’s drivers and select Next.






9. Upon completion, you are advised to restart your PC and check if your problem is solved. If not, proceed with next instructions.





Using netsh.exe or Resetting the TCP/IP stack setting

The NetShell utility (netsh.exe) is a highly versatile tool that lets power users manage a myriad of computer processes right from the command line. Here’s how to put the tool to work for you:

1. Press the Windows Key + x + a to launch the Command Prompt with administrator rights.






2. Now in the command window type the following command:

Code:
netsh int ip reset C:\resetlog.txt


3. Then reboot the computer and retry the internet connection. It should connect fine now. If not proceed to next step.




Wake up your Wi-Fi Adapter


1. Press Windows Key + w to bring up the Settings search box and type:

Code:
network and sharing center






2. Click on the name of your Wi-Fi network and choose the Properties button in the lower left corner under.






3. In the Wi-Fi Properties window click the Configure button.







4. Then pick the last tab called Power Management and you’ll see this option:

Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power





5. Uncheck it, click OK and then login to your computer again to confirm the fix.






Enable Download over metered connections


If you’re iPhoneBlackberry or Galaxy S4 as a mobile hotspot, turning on Download over metered connections might just do the trick.

1. Press the Windows Key + w and type

Code:
metered connections

2. When the Devices screen flips onto the screen, toggle the knob to On then logout and login to your computer to apply the change.








Reset TCP/IP Autotunning


Using the following three netsh commands in Windows 8 and 8.1 might fix the issue.



Code:
netsh int tcp set heuristics disabled
Code:
netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled
Code:
netsh int tcp set global rss=enabled








NOTE: For each of those processes, restarting after every solution might be somehow a big contribution.
