Windows 8.1 on BootCamp WiFi Problem

Hey,

I installed Win 8.1 via BootCamp on my Macbook Pro late 2014. All is fine except WiFi .. It keeps dropping. When I run diagnostics it says "Default Gateway Not Available" and it resets the wifi adapter. And it fixed it for 15-20-30 minutes and then again the same thing. Checked drivers and they're up to date etc.

Anyone having fixed this issues?

Thanks

MacBook Pro with Retina display, Windows 8

1. Are you using the BC driver for WiFi or some other driver? Check in Device Manager.

2. Does the same behavior happen on the OSX side?

Hey,

thanks for the quick response ..

1. do you mean am I using BootCamp driver for Wifi? From what I can see in Device Manager I'm using just some regular driver from MS, but I'm not sure .. can you tell me how exactly to check it?

2. It doesn't happen on the OSX side as I can see

Thanks
