    Hello, fellows,
    I encounter a situation, not a big deal, but still a bit annoying. Here is the problem:
    I recently upgrade my OS from Win 7 pro to Win 8 pro, the network connection seems a little unstable after the upgrade.
    Every time I open the browser and click any websites I try to open, it takes few seconds to open them. After the very beginning of using the web browser,
    it then works good, in fast loading speed. I never had same problem when I used it under Win 7. And I am pretty sure it is irrelevant with the router.
    The wireless card I am using is Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6235. The browser is Chrome.
    Thank you for your help.

    Does it happen with any other browser?
    Make sure your Wi-Fi drivers are up to date as well.

    Have you tried disabling automatic proxy settings?

    (Even though it says for Chrome, this fix actually works for all browsers)
