Hello,
I am having problems with my Wifi on my HP DV6 7011TX (Product Number: B0P39PA#ACJ)
I updated from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1 and started facing Wifi problems.
Initially on starting laptop, Wifi get connected automatically.. But after 5-10 minutes it shows LIMITED Connectivity.
When I turn ON Flight mode and then OFF it, it gets back to full connection.
But, after sometime it goes back to LIMITED. This keeps on happening.
I've tried installing various versions of Broadcom & Intel WLAN Adapter Drivers!. Still no success!
I called HP Support but, they told me that they can't help as I'm on Windows 8.1
They said me to rollback to Windows 8 and I don't want to do so.
"Download over metered connections" is also set ON
Please Help!
(While writing this post Wifi went into limited connectivity once!)
Solved! Go to Solution.

On HP website there are several drivers for Windows 7
Check this: http://goo.gl/aAoPD4
Can you tell me which one have you installed?
Broadcom? Intel? Atheros?

It is now working like a charm. Thanks ErickAnts! 🙂
