Under device manager, make sure your wireless adapter is not set to turn off to save power. If you go into the properties of the wireless network adapter, there should be a power management tab, check in there.

Other than that, make sure you are using WPA2 encryption on the router,not WPA as Windows 8 doesn't like WPA.

Its a bug. Restart. As it happens with my laptop as well. Or sometimes I can turn it on from Start>Search>Wireless> On or Off. but sometimes it's disabled. So i restart it.
