Couldn't add these details to the first post:

Event Viewer log: Microsoft-Windows-WLAN-AutoConfig/Operational

After the firmware/driver logs the failure:

WLAN AutoConfig service has successfully disconnected from a wireless network. Network Adapter: Dell Wireless 1538 802.11 a/g/n Adapter Interface GUID: X Connection Mode: Automatic connection with a profile Profile Name: X SSID: X BSS Type: Infrastructure Reason: The network is disconnected by the driver.

When it attempts to auto-reconnect after dropping:

WLAN AutoConfig service failed to connect to a wireless network. Network Adapter: Dell Wireless 1538 802.11 a/g/n Adapter Interface GUID: X Connection Mode: Automatic connection with a profile Profile Name: X SSID: X BSS Type: Infrastructure Failure Reason:An internal failure prevented the operation from completing.

 I can confirm the exact same issue with wireless as you.

my WiFi goes unavailable usually after streaming video like Netflix or YouTube.  am forced to reboot in order to get WiFi back. I checked and also have the errorlog in c:\ with the same content as you posted.

I am not confident that there is a fix for this issue as these forums are full of WiFi issues with no resolve. many people have sent their devices back in for repair only to have their repaired devices still doing the same thing.  feel that dell is just ignoring the issue on the first generation venue 8 pros and hoping the issue is fixed with the newer models.. in other words, I think dell is going to stick it to us..

Thanks for the confirmation! I hope something can be done about this, as it's a clearly defined issue. If they can find which driver/firmware code logs that message, maybe they can trace it back to the fault. If possible, could you list the details of your v8p like the bottom of the first post (32GB or 64GB, wifi driver version, wifi security, bios version, bluetooth state, microsd present or not, etc.)? It might help to give them more information to work with. If they can recreate the issue, then the odds of a fix should hopefully increase.

i can confirm this for all of my three venue 8 tablets.

I may add that during the past several months I experimented with several different routers and that leaves me convinced that the router the venue 8 connects to does play a significant role in this behavior.

I can confirm, I have this exact problem. Right now it is my only consideration for getting rid my DV8 Pro, as I have found no work around. I can not work extended periods of time on this device, which I purchased for.

I believe the problem is even worse than described, as I use Bluetooth exclusively for keyboard / mouse input. Since I have Bluetooth running all the time, when problem occurs as described in the OP, Bluetooth is also knocked offline, same issue.....can not turn Bluetooth off and then back on to recover, must restart or perform an enable/disable of the WLAN network adapter to recover both the WLAN and Bluetooth.

I would also like to add 90% of the time I am using IE and Chrome for research, RDP'ing to the workplace, or casual web browsing and not streaming music or video and this problem occurs.  

So annoying to have an internet connected wireless tablet not be able to keep an internet/bluetooth connection. This is a big fail for this device. I hope other people read these posts before running out to buy a DV8 Pro for doing serious work over wireless for extended periods, they will be disappointed.

Thank you for those details! Your microsd and bluetooth states are the opposite of mine, so that probably eliminates those states as the cause. It's probably either the BIOS or wifi driver/security.

same error here, and same configuration, I think I will switch back to android tablets...

Thanks, gmanca. Incidentally, the purpose of this thread is not only to see how many users have this specific wifi issue, but to get detailed information, specs, and logs (like Userp's post) for Dell to use in order to make their job easier when creating a fix. If anyone from Dell sees this thread, please let us know if you require additional details.

I made a couple changes to my router a couple of nights ago. first of all I registered  the venue's mac address into the  dhcp table to assign it a static ip.. and the other change was to switch the router mode from dual band to just wireless G and B .. I have had no wireless issues for the last 2 days and been testing it with lots of streaming which usually would result in my wireless going down within 30mins of streaming a movie..
