Limited connectivity and dissconnect

[iansythes]

New sony laptop for xmas and connection drops with "limited" appearing in wireless strength box.

Other laptops in house are fine. My router is 8 feet away in same room.

Turned off power save etc. Did all the easy fix options to no avail.

If someone can post and paste a fix using EASY stuff for non computer expert like me that would be fabulous.

Most dissappointed.. my last laptop was 12 years old.. tired and so was getting myself a treat... I already miss its noisy fan as I never had this problem.

Connection can be restored by dissconnecting , turning on airplane mode then doing the reverse to reconnect.

help please..  contacted shop and they said this is a windows 8 issue and nothing to do with SONY so nothing they can do.

Hi iansythes you haven't said what Sony laptop you have but I would suggest checking if there are any updates available for your Vaio. Updates can be found by entering your Vaio model number into the box on this link.
