I am searching this. I see Dell laptop issues with Windows 8 and Centrino. I have a toshiba with Windows 8. I have seen HP and ASUS laptops. I am sure there are others.
This seems to be happening around an update. I see an Intel update in the list of recently installed software. I did not ask for the Intel software to install. I see Windows updates that I was told have security information.
With only this bit of information, multiple users, same time frame, same Intel/Windows configuration, that someone would make the connection and put out something to explain this. Is it a Windows problem? Is it an Intel problem? Is it a combination?
I have 3 laptops in the house. I have the Toshiba next to the router. Distance is not the issue.
Remember, everything was working until after we rebotted from a recent update.
I do have a Cisco/Linksys router that in another thread implies that it is out of date. Well, it worked until this update. Also, I tried to plug into a wired connection now, and I get the same type of limited connectivity issue.
Instead of having hundreds if not thousands of IT people working on this. Someone from Intel and Microsoft please put out a statement.
What changed? Is there a way to change it back while this is being researched?
Summary:
Laptop purchased with Windows 8 and Intel Centrino 2230

This scenario is playing out in hundreds and thousands of users right now. Please someone pay attention and let us know what changed, and how we can fix it.
