Hi,
I have quite much trouble with my WiFi when I'm trying to connect to wireless networks. There are like 3 or 4 kind of problems, which occur at quite random intervals, and are really annoying.
My problems:
I've tried fixing it on the long term with installing windows 7 drivers, reinstalling windows 8 drivers, letting windows search for his own required drivers, troubleshooting it with the official troubleshooter but nothing really solved the issue. But what is strange, that after a reboot (or two, or three...), or after some trial-and-error testing (A.K.A furiously clicking and trying everything you can think of) like disconnecting, making the wifi forget that network, turning it off, then on, from network and sharing, connecting to it manually, etc, the wifi starts working. And what's even more frustrating, is that my wifi works perfectly fine under Ubuntu (and also win 7, if i remember correctly)
I would really appreciate any kind of help, cause I think it is a software side error, and I'm not really experienced with anything like this.
Edit: I also have a problem, that my WiFi does not connect neither to my universitys, nor my home network. Do you have any kind of solution for this?
Thanks in advance for the help.

My problems:
- I start my windows 8, and try to connect to a wifi, but it says it cannot connect
- It connects seemingly (the wifi icon on the taskbar turns white, and Networks says connected), but when i hover over the wifi icon, it says either Identifying, or Not Connected- Connections are availble
- It says Limited, and after a while it either turns into connected, with internet access, or just throws it away.
- While trying to connect, Networks says Connecting to the network is taking longer than usual, and either simply disconnects, or connects with Limited.
