Venue 8 Pro Connected Standby

Once my venue 8 pro goes into standby, it never completely reconnects to the WiFi network when turn it back on. It only connects with limited connectivity. To get full connectivity, I need to disconnect, then reconnect - then every thing works fine until the next time it goes into standby. Any ideas??

The dell software and Microsoft software it up to date.

Bringing this backup to the top of the forum. Is anyone else having problems with connected standby?? After the device has been in standby for a few hours, it reconnects with limited connectivity. To get internet, I have to disconnect, then reconnect to the WiFi network. Thoughts??

Bump.  I have the same problem where the Wifi connectivity will become 'limited'.  I have to disconnect and reconnect.  I have 2 routers broadcasting on 3 SSID and it's doing that on all 3 -- tried different parameters in the router, same results.

 

I'm using the 10/23/2013 drivers that's on the site right now.

 

And I have another colleague that has the same problem.  The touch input and intel updates were great -- only Wifi's remaining as a problem now, but it's an otherwise awesome device / form factor ... need wifi!!

Received a 2nd tablet that I ordered for my wife -- same problem.  I haven't updated any drivers on that one but the same behavior's occurring.  My first tablet's fully updated on all drivers.

 

I see some other instances of that problem in forums -- I hope we'll get some answers from Dell.

I upgraded my wifi drivers and connected standby appears to be working better.  Only once this week has the device been stuck with a limited connection.
