I bought my Nokia 630 preloaded with WP 8.1 about a month ago. Uptil now it worked fine, but recently the wifi has been bugging me atleast twice daily. What happens is when I'm connected to my home's wifi network, my phone start showing Limited Connectivity after a while. My router is fine as all other devices work without any issues. Any fixes?

There are no real fixes to this.. Except for turning the phone's wifi off for a few seconds and then reconnecting :)

Same problem, worked well for a month when I bought it, but started causing issues after that. I know a friend who has the same problem. I guess its up to Microsoft to fix it.

That seems to be an Okayish temporary fix. Any info about when MS is gonna roll out an update to fix it for good?

I have an AT&T 920 with WP8.1 DP, and that's what I do sometimes. Just waiting works occasionally, but that's not always a good option. The issue is rather irritating.

Almost everyone has the Limited Connectivity issue in WP 8.1 lets hope that Microsoft addresses the issue to retain it's customers, they've been quite slow with the fixes.

I feel ya... The problem started with 8.1 dp for me as well, but doesn't occur too often now :) Wifi sense also gave me problems in the beginning so I turned that off as well
