1. Windows XP wired
2. Windows 7 wired & wireless
3. Windows 8.1 wired
4. Windows 8.1 RT wired & wireless
I have no problems with the XP & 7 computers but both the 8.1 computer suffer from intermittent disconnection lasting from 30 sec - 5 mins before reconnecting without any action.
I have been running Internet Connectivity Monitor 141 which shows that I have had 13 disconnections in the last 5 hours
I understand that there was a problem with Widows 8 but that it had been solved in 8.1..

I think this will be a driver issue, though it seems odd that it is happening on both wireless and wired. If we look at the wireless first of all, do you get a little yellow triangle warning message in the bottom right of your screen when the connection drops? I've personally had that problem, and a re-install of the drivers appears to have sorted it for me. As for the Ethernet, the same trick again should work, but try the wireless first.

I have had two disconnections so far today as logged by Internet Connectivity Monitor which is checking link to Google every 5 secs.

Does the Apple have power management that could be affecting the connection? I know on PCs that the OS can put the NIC to sleep and as a consequence your connection would drop. Are you able to run your MAC on its PSU for a few hours to see if this has any effect? Just a thought.
