    Do these two commands in CMD or Powershell

    Code:
    ipconfig -release
#Then#
ipconfig -renew

    You'll need to have to set the Network connection for Wireless in Internet Protocol V.4 to Automatic for both IP and DNS addresses.

    Or you can just go into Device Manager, uninstall your wireless card (DONT UNINSTALL THE DRIVERS), and then hit F5 to search for your wireless card again.

    I think the wifi card is bad. The temporary solution, just reset the wifi-router everytime you loose the connection to the pc.

    D-Link wireless PCI card problem with Windows 8

    Has anyone had a problem with D-Links airplus xtreme G DWL-G520 PCI card.
    I have this card and never had a problem with Windows 7, but with Windows 8 once the card is install in the motherboard Windows 8 starts to load but then stops. If I go into safemode and disable the card the system boots fine and I can enable the card. The system works fine until I reboot, then the problem returns.

    Any help
