Hi,

This issue can be caused by driver or compatible issue.

Please contact manufacturer to ask for the wireless network adapter driver which is compatible with Windows 8.1.

Try following steps:  

Step 1: Turn off power management on network adapter:

  1.        Open Network and Sharing Center.
  2.        Click the Change adapter settings link in the upper left of the navigation pane.
  3.        Right click the network connection you want to enable/disable power management support on and click Properties .
  4.        Click Configure .
  5.        On the Power Management tab, clear the Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power check box.

Step 2: change settings of wireless network adapter in power option as Maximum performance.

Step 3: If it doesnt work, please refer to this blog, and try to roll back to the older version of network adapter driver which apply to Windows 8 to check the results.
