Wi-Fi network with limited access after the update of WIN 8.1

Excited about 8.1 update and started installing in HP ProBook 6460b, every step had smooth transition with backup of data and retain my settings done in WIN 8.0

AMG, realized it very late.....I was in real mess after the update, my Wi-Fi is not working. Surprise to see in blogs to rollback the drivers, its better not to update OS instead of searching for legacy drivers.

After few days of struggle, able to fix the problem. May be this could be helpful for some one.

  1. Go to start menu[Tile view] by clicking on windows key
  2. Type in "Device"
  3. Search charm automatically picks the word and list items
  4. Select update device drivers
  5. Expand Network Adapters node
  6. Uninstall all drivers listed, if knowledgeable in identifying specific network adapters uninstall only those adapaters.
  7. Restart your PC
  8. Enable Wi-Fi and log in
  9. Now Wi-Fi should be enabled with internet access.
