WiFi dropping on Windows 8.1

[LiamBaby]

Hello, my wifi seems to be dropping after I updated to Windows 8.1

This was never a problem on Windows 8, but it was prevalent after the upgrade to 8.1

I have tried near on everything I could possibly think of. I've tried reinstalling the network driver, updating it. Everything listed here: http://www.registryrecycler.com/blog/2013/11/fix-wi-fi-connectivity-issues-in-windows-8-1/

And on top of that, I even did a fresh install of Windows 8.1, this problem does not occur with an ethernet connection.

It's driving me insane, and I can't find a cause nor a fix for this issue. I was hoping some of you could shed some light on this issue. My laptop is: Acer Aspire E1-571

Thank you

Ok

If not let's try multiband driver;

broadcomdriver > update driver software > uncheck compatible drivers > try any random broad-com 802.11n driver or 802.11 multiband driver.

Try the 802.11 multiband driver browse to the list and you should be able to find it.

My wifi dropped, how do I get to 'broadcomdriver'

oh sorry, device manager > broadcom adapter > update driver software > uncheck compatible drivers > try 802.11 multiband driver. long list should appear.

Wait nvm I'm an idiot, didn't know I had to click broadcom and pick it from the right.

I've done that now.
