Reinstall your wifi drivers - I hope you made sure drivers existed for Windows 8 before hand.

<div>
It's an upgrade. The drivers existed for 8.0.<br />
The wifi worked fine without any problems on 8.0<br />
<br />
I upgraded the Broadcom 802.11 drivers to windows 8.1.<br />
<br />
I just spent 2 1/2 hours with microsoft support.<br />
<br />
The wifi is still broken - goes down every minute.<br />
How can I fix this?

Windows 8.1 wifi broken?

Windows 8 is a personal computer operating system developed by Microsoft as part of the Windows NT family of operating systems, with an emphasis on improving its user experience on tablets. In particular, these changes included a touch-optimized Windows shell based on Microsoft's "Metro" design language, the Start screen, a new platform for developing apps with an emphasis on touchscreen input, integration with online services, support for USB 3.0, Advanced Format hard drives, near field communications, and cloud computing. Additional security features were introduced, such as built-in antivirus software, integration with Microsoft SmartScreen phishing filtering service and support for UEFI Secure Boot on supported devices with UEFI firmware.

Wireless networking is a method by which homes, telecommunications networks and enterprise (business) installations avoid the costly process of introducing cables into a building, or as a connection between various equipment locations. Wireless telecommunications networks are generally implemented and administered using radio communication. This implementation takes place at the physical level (layer) of the OSI model network structure. The key hardware components of a wireless computer network include adapters, routers and access points, antennas and repeaters.

Wireless Hardware

Wireless networking is anything related to the transfer of data between two (or more) devices without the use of a physical connection, ranging from getting advice on a new Bluetooth headset to configuring sophisticated enterprise level networks.
