[AbhimanyuAryan]

I am able to connect to that wifi on all my mobile...ohter laptop running ubuntu but this laptop is not connecting to wifi earlier i was able to connect but don't know what happened to it suddenly 🙁
win8.1 has so many problems related to limited wifi.....they can be resolved. This one is strangest of all.....says COULDN'T CONNECT TO A NETWORK

I have checked all the drivers they are up to date. Also, installed all the wifi drivers laptop's driver cd

Laptop- Acer Aspire E1-571G

Many new Laptop users with Windows 8/8.1 experience WIFI problems with your connection. Some can connect while others can't connect at all. For those with intel wireless drivers, you can update it immediately at their site for a quick fix. But if you said you already updated via CD, check their websites in Drivers section where they offer up to date info. Good luck!

Had the same problem. Couldn't connect on a new laptop running Windows 8, but everything else in the house was fine (wife's laptop on Windows 7, printer, iPhones). Contacted router support (NETGEAR). The tech re-installed the Intel Wireless driver (I was connected via hard-wire, he was in control from remote access). Solved the problem. He said that "kinks" are still getting resolved in Windows 8 and some updates are overriding/conflicting with the installed drivers. My result supports the answer submitted from Quarkzquarkz.

I had the same problem with three different Windows 8.1 machines when I got FiOS. All my other machines (Windows 7, Macs, iPhones, LG phone, etc.) connected right away, but the Windows 8.1 machines wouldn't do it. I read on forums etc. and found all kinds of complicated solutions that didn't work. I contacted Verizon tonight and they had me do this: choose the home network, right click, then click on "Forget this network". Then I clicked on the network again, and it immediately gave me a spot to enter the network password. The machine connected right away. I tried on another Windows 8.1 machine and it worked as well. I don't know if this will solve your issue, but wanted to mention as I wasted hours of time trying to resolve this. Anyway, good luck!
