Sudden limited wifi
I'm also running Windows 8.1 and I had no wifi connection issues until today. I have tried rebooting my modem, turning it off for a few minutes and back on, flushing my dns, socket resets, restarting my PC multiple times. Nothing seems to work.
I sometimes use Astrill and after running my dns flush batch file I notice that although dns successfully flushed, I get this message as well:
No operation can be performed on Astrill SSL VPN while it has its media disconnected.
No operation can be performed on Local Area Network Connection* 4 while it has its media disconnected
Is it possible that my ISP is blocking my wifi due to the use of Astrill?
I have no problems getting on the wifi with my wife's laptop. Only my laptop has the issue? I have run Avast and found no threats?
I just tried rebooting in safe mode with networking and I can now access wifi. Unlike most people that experience this shortly after the Windows 8.1 update, I noticed it after installing Wireshark. I assume my system might have been compromised?
