A quick workaround that always worked was to open the network connections in the Control Panel, right-click the Wi-Fi adapter in question, select Disable and Enable once again. But doing this procedure almost on the daily basis becomes an unnecessary chore. Fortunately there is a permanent fix for the “Unidentified Network” or the commonly seen “Limited access” problem in Windows 8.x, just follow the steps below.
How to fix Unidentified Network on Windows 8.1
This actually resolved permanently my wireless connection problem in my Windows PC. Now it’s been several days without losing network connectivity and it seems that the yellow exclamation message is a thing of the past.
It’s worth noting that these instructions should also work for Windows 7 and Windows 8.0 as well, however if you have Wi-Fi issues with your Surface Pro 3, you’ll notice that the “Power Management” tab in the “Wi-Fi Properties” is missing. So in this case make sure you have the latest firmware update installed as the company has been trying to fix the Surface wireless adapter problem for quite some time.
