Intel Centrino Wireless-N 2230 issues after upgrade to Windows 8.1
When I try to connect to any Wireless network it goes through the following steps...
-Checking Network Requirements
-Connecting to the network is taking longer than usual
-Can't connect to this network
Then I close the WIFI menu and it shows "Connected"
It won't remember the network upon reboot and the connected icon no longer looks like a WIFI icon, its an ENET icon (no enet cable connected).
I've uninstalled the network adapter from device manager. Removed the drivers from Windows\System32\Drivers
-NETwew00sys
-Netwfw00.dat
Rebooted and it auto installs the default Microsoft Windows 8.1 drivers for the device. - Same issue as above.
I tried the same process above but instead of rebooting and letting it install the Microsoft default drivers I first installed the latest drivers from Intel
(package Wireless_16.5.3_De164) - file version after install is 15.10.3.2 which Intel indicates is correct. Rebooted PC - Issue continues.

I really don't know what else to do. It's not my Router as this is an issue anywhere I go, and my other devices (another Windows 7 and 8 (not 8.1)) work fine. This was working fine after installing Windows 8.1 on launch day but two days ago this became the issue.
