I have a D-link 655 router.
I have a win xp laptop, a HP stationeary with Win 7, a HTC with android and all of them work fine on my wifi. But the Iconia gets limited connectivity all the time, and some time it does not find any wifi at all.
Ive alos updated the router sw.
Any tips?

I have the same problem. I even reinstalled it twice and still the same "limited connectivity" problem. Perhaps we should wait for the latest drivers to be released?

Ive set my ISP router in DMZ mode. (forward everything to my Dlink router). This has been working fine with xp, win7, android but it looks like it is making trouble for windows 8.
So i tried to enable WIFI on my isp router and its been working fine for a day now.

Found an alternative solution as well.
Open network and sharing > change adapter settings > wifi adaptor properties > configure > power management > uncheck "allow the computer to turn off this device to save power"
then go to your battery settings
Battery icon > more power options > power saving / balanced / high performance > change plan settings > change advanced power settings > wireless adaptor settings > power saving mode > on battery > change to low or medium power saving (although troubleshoot says medium power saving should fix the problem, I chose the low power saving, so far no hiccups with the "limited" connectivity.)

i finally got it working. i tried the other methods as well but still had the problem. i went to acer and downloaded the wifi drivers, uninstalled the device in device manger, restart pc, went back to device mmanager and looked for the unknown device. i then right click unknown device and installed the driver from acer.
it has been 3 days with no disconnect or limited status. also, the wifi now autoconnects if u tick the box to autoconnect. previously i still had to connect manually.
it seems to be much more stable now.
