Probably should alter the name on here... anyway, not sure if this is the right place, but I've recently updated my computer to Windows 8.1, and since then, I've had issues with the router it uses to connect to the internet. It doesn't seem to act up until this computer's on and connected, at which point it'll eventually make ALL devices connected to the router disconnect and the router itself fail to be discovered. Following a quick reset of the router through unplugging and plugging it back in, it'll work fine for several hours before it might need another reset. I'm not sure if it's a coincidence or legitimately an issue caused by this computer following the Windows 8.1 update, but I thought I'd ask and see if anything can be figured out.
Also, before anyone asks, the computer wirelessly connects to the router, and uses an Nvidia motherboard with a nForce 430 chipset (not fully up to date; I've had a lot of issues concerning the chipset drivers and Windows 8, and the chipset's so outdated that the latest drivers are for Windows Vista), assuming any of that information helps and might be at fault.
