Been Using Windows 8 since the release date without any issue but couple of weeks ago I decided to reformat the whole windows when some custom theme made my explorer insane lol...After reinstalling I'm having trouble with WiFi. Basically every time I log into my account it's connected but there's an yellow exclamation mark. Troubleshooting fix the issue but still can't browse. But If i connect to my alternative WiFi and then connects back it works fine..yet it goes off or hangs up for for a while in every 5-10 mins. I may have installed some wrong drivers at first using the CD just because when I open the cd it says the hardware is available but those drivers gave me error. In fact I had to change the compatibility of in In Device manager, under network adapters I have intel Centrino advanced -N 6205, Microsoft kernel debug network adapter, Qualcomm Atheros Ar8151 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet controller. What's qualcomm one? It keeps coming back even though I uninstalled it.
What maybe the issue here? I'm using M14x R1 and google dns. Also here's a copy of my ipconfig/ all
