I have been using Windows 8.0 and N6235 without problems in a Series 9 Samsung notebook. After booting, it took a few seconds to connect to the internet through my router and I have had no inconveniences so far.
I upgraded to Windows 8.1 and from that point onwards, after booting or resuming, internet access is not available for usually more than 1 minute (it can sometimes be 2 or 3 as well). The wireless connection icon indicates that internet is available, but no program can connect. Without doing anything but waiting, the issue solves itself and connection is available again.
As additional comments :
a. Google Talk now has an additional task which is Proxy Authentication, and I don't use any proxy
b. I have upgraded drivers to latest wireless drivers that Samsung offers and the result is the same.
c. I have run the Intel software detection applet and it indicates that all drivers are up to date
Does anyone have any idea how to eliminate this delay ? I don't know how proxy authentication works, but it looked to me as this was somehow introduced by the upgrade and I cannot find a clue that this is true and/or how to fix it. (if this is the culprit).
Thanks.
