Hello,
After having a buggy installation of windows 8 on my desktop PC (custom built) I did a clean install of windows 8.1. The main issue was the wireless was not working properly. It won't connect to some networks, it won't even display some networks. When I try to connect to a network (and it actually works) the connection is always at around 5.5 Mbps and is unusable. It always drops out and doesn't work properly. I am running windows 8.1 on an Asus P8Z77-V LX motherboard, i5-3570k, 120GB Samsung 840 SSD, 1TB WD HDD, GTX660 and corsair 16GB RAM.
I am using an Asus PCE-N53 PCIe WiFi card (WiFi g/b/n dual band) and a Netgear Wireless Router (WiFi n). A while ago on windows 7 it worked completely fine. Now most of you are probably going to ask me about the drivers, I have completely removed and re-installed the most up to date drivers from the Asus website multiple times. I have a cheap (L-Blink or something) PCIe WiFi card and it does EXACTLY the same thing - with it's generic drivers.
Could it be a windows 8.1 issue - ie how it handles the wireless connection? I am at my wits end am starting to get extremely frustrated.
I have spent almost two weeks trying to get this to work and would really appreciate any help. 
Thanks, Jaimyn
