After upgrade to Windows 8.1 I'm unable to connect to WiFi at work.
PC is using Broadcom 802.11n Network Adapter
Computer is joined to domain and have to problem with anything over wired connection. At home using WPA2-Personal have no problem connecting to WiFi.
Steps taken:
- Uninstall and re install WiFi Driver.
- Install driver from computer manufacturer
- Install Legacy Driver
- Disable/Enable WiFi driver.
- Upgrade to BIOS
- Upgrade to motherboard drivers.
ipconfig /releaseandipconfig /renew
Additional information:
My laptop is Latitude E6520
Working with network engineer at work was able to verify that PC is connecting to DHCP and getting a IP address leased. Domain shows successful authentication. Firewall is disabled and User Account Control is set on lowest. Current user is added to Administrator group.
Note: Several other users with recent upgrade to Windows 8.1 have reported same problem. Everyone with issues is using some version of DELL Latitude. Once connected to WiFi, get Limited Connectivity message.
