Where do I start? I've been redirected here from the Windows Community site by Microsoft as I guess it's too complicated for them. Since updating to 8.1 the other day, networking is erratic to nonfunctional. Some of the issues:-
1. I cannot connect to my NAS which is using Windows Home Server unless I reboot the laptop.
2. Networking says I'm using a router that I got rid of months ago. Even after it finally said it was using my Asus router, next reboot it reverted to the old one. When you hover the mouse over the wireless network indicator on the bottom control bar it says the old router, when you right click to get connects it says the new one is connected!
3. Windows Firewall will not recognise my security software (Panda) and give a warning even though Action Center does and says everything is fine. Can it be a firewall issue Windows 8.1 is imagining?
4. Sometimes I have to reboot to get an internet connection. At the moment said controlbar wireless icon is saying I'm not connected but I am.
5. I can't join my home group, 3 pc's and laptops using Windows 7, thank God. They work fine, just the Windows 8.1 is on its own, an outcast!
Oh Lord, why can't I go back to Windows 8.0 even?
