Hi,
Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.
From the description, I understand that you have issues with Wi-Fi connectivity on 3 laptops.
We found that few of them got the latest updates from Acer Live Updater with which the connection issues seemed to be resolved. You may download the update 218 from Acer live updater and install it on the computer and check if this helps in resolving the issue.
You may download the Acer live updater from the following link.

The issue seems to be with the driver software as the laptops you have mentioned have Windows 8 preinstalled. You might need to get in touch computer manufacturer for the drivers.
You may refer to the links for additional information.

PS: The PC and other Ultrabook running on Windows 7 has no dropout/Limited connectivity, just the Windows 8 machine(s).

I'm having the same issue with my new Lenovo twist with pre-installed Win 8. My Vista and Win 7 laptops that are connected to the same router/network have no issues. The problem happens when my laptop goes into hibernation. When I bring it out of hibernation that's when the "limited" wifi connectivity shows up. I have to disconnect and re-connect to get full internet working again.
I read a few posts where the default setting for running on battery automatically drops wifi to conserve battery power but I'm not running on battery. This is so frustrating!! I have all the latest Microsoft/Lenovo updates installed.

After I turned it on again it was back to the limited connection. So I am back to fixed IP instead of DHCP, I am not resetting my router each time the laptop messes it up, be it OS or the hardware.
