w8 limited connection - only restart resolves


Recommended Posts

hi folks

i have windows 8 installed for a few months now and have had not connectivity problems until now

i have a wifi adsl modem and my isp provides different speeds at different times of the day so at 8pm and midnight and again at 8 in the morning the connection drops, this has been teh case for 3 years now and i have never had an issue and the same laptop and even windows 8 used to reconnect seamlessly

however nowadays upon disconnection the pc connects to the wifi modem but the limited icon is present - even choosing the troubleshoot connection does not resolve it till i reboot the machine and im back online without any issues

my android phones and mac dont have this reconnection issue and connect back seamlessly - its only the w8 laptop thats started acting up of late

is there a setting i can check on the modem config page or the network properties of windows 8

thanks in advance

Two things:

Could be a VPN connection that didn't completely release

Could be a VM connection (Virtual Switch or VMNet adapter)

Please check for those and see if you can change the setting or disable the VM adapter if you don't use the VM that much.
