I know you said you do, but I'll ask for your wireless adapter make/model to see if there's something at the part manufacturer that's more recent than what your computer seller or Windows thinks.

If it works on Ubuntu and not Windows 8, it's most definitely a driver issue. So before taking that step, let's make sure.

ok well I have full strength wifi connection but no internet, had to plug the ethernet back in.

I don't actually have ubuntu installed yet, so can't confirm if it would work on ubuntu. It came to mind after planktons post which suggested it may be a windows-specific issue.

pretty much im looking for an excuse to download the newest ubuntu

I don't blame you. I wouldn't use Windows 8 either, which is why I haven't. I was more under the impression that you wanted to get it working. Assuming all the computer's drivers are available for that OS, go for it. See if it fixes. If it does, driver issue.

Sure, try it out. Just remember to set your security settings back up.
However, the only thing you changed in the router as far as I'm aware was the b/g/n setting. So it may be more prudent to try that first.

Remember the DNS settings in IPv4. Although that really should not matter... it's just telling your computer to use a different DNS server. But maybe your router no likey. Try it out.

Also the other settings that were disabled.
