I am running a Sony Viao SVE171E13M laptop with Win 8.1 through a BT Infinity hub. The computer connects to the internet just fine when running through the desktop programmes such as Firefox, Steam and Windows Live Mail.
However none of the Metro apps work and Store states that I am not connected to the internet. In addition I can not set up a homenetwork, again apparently as I am not connected to the internet.
When I use my phone as a hotspot, these things work fine, but 3G is not great for more than a last resort.
I am running a BT infinity hub, through power line wireless extenders, but have tried through the hub only and Metro still doesn't seem to see the wireless network.
I am quite tech savvy, but not an ubergeek, any help would be greatly appreciated, and i should be able to follow simple advice.
I can use the computer but am not getting any benefit from Win8.
Thanks
Alex
