Many report of their wireless drivers not being compatible with Windows 8. It works fine in Win 7 x32, x64 but just problematic with 8 and 8.1, which is another reason to just stick with 7.

If you have intel wireless you can always upgrade the drivers to be compatible with both, check your manufacturer and follow accordingly, good luck~
