HH2 bt infinity and windows 8 Wifi does not have a...

Hello I bought windows 8 in January and upgraded an old Dell xps m1730 laptop, however after 4 or 5 months the laptop lost all it's wireless connection to the HH. I rang Bt help and eventually was told that it was a fault with my Laptop, after playing around with ip settings I eventually got the laptop to connect by using a static ip address in my list of IP's. Yesterday I bought a brand new laptop for my daughter, an HP Envy M6 i5, and during the setup process I entered my wireless details, and I could not believe it,there was the same message Wifi does not have a valid wifi configuration, i tried using ip config renew, flush, switched off the firewall,switched of the HomeHub and the Openreach boxes to no avail, i have now setup this pc using a static ip address. As like most people these days i have a lot of wifi devices in the house, including 3 Macbook's, iphone's,blackberry's, also a windows 7 pc, everything connects flawlessly, Just not Windows 8, Can you prompt me in the right direction to fix this problem?

That's a pity! I was going to suggest using the Windows connection rather than the HP one to see if it connected without problem.
I don't think there is a general problem with Windows 8 not connecting to Infinity otherwise I'm sure there would be more posts about it on this forum.
I usually suggest a factory reset of the homehub by pressing a pin into the red recess button for about 20 seconds to sort out configuration settings on the Hub but if you were to do this you would need to set up your fixed IP address again if it didn't sort the problem. It might be worth a try if you can be bothered.
Other than that I can't think what else to try for the moment.
