Read the myriads of Acer wifi problems all over this forum. Seems to be a common issue.

The only solution right now is to use a wired connection

Bought an Acer Aspire V5-471P last Christmas for my wife, she's always been complaining about the WiFi that keeps on disconnecting. It's very inconvenient to keep on disconnecting/reconnecting to re-establish connection. Don't have any problems with my two Asus laptops connected to my wireless router. Hope Acer would be quick enough to resolve this WiFi issue.

All,

Please refer to my post here. Newly updated drivers are available, with additional drivers being released as soon as they are tested and qualified.

This is very frustrating. I can't even stay connected to wifi long enough to download the latest driver. I will be returning this. This will teach me to buy a cheap laptop out of quick necessity without doing research.

I stumbled upon this thread, and sasdly I have been having the same problem with my new V5-touch! I was wondering if there has been any updates to fix this wi-fi , limited access issue??

This is from another thread with a similar topic (credits to v5-i5_user)

I was having the same problem. Like I said was. I purchased mine yesterday. All last night and for the better part of today, I was getting to know my new Acer Aspire v5 with i5 processor. I was connected to my wifi the entire time. With no problem, I was able to surf the internet.

So, I decided to connect my Windows 8 phone to my new Windows 8 laptop via Bluetooth. Fifteen minutes later I started having wifi drops. When I realized that my Bluetooth was the problem (about 5 hours later), I had turned off my Bluetooth on my laptop and no more wifi drops.
I said that to say this, there's must be a conflict with the wifi and Bluetooth drivers, and that's what causing the wifi drops.

I hope this works for you.

So far my laptop hasn't dropped the WiFi once after I'd turned off my Bluetooth

I've turned my Bluetooth off using the Change PC Settings function and nope, still getting the same intermittent wifi drop outs. Another user mentioned uninstalling the bluetooth driver helped; anyone have any suggestions re.this? I don't use the bluetooth on my laptop anyway and I'd rather have a working wifi connection.

Trying everything to fix it or the laptop is going back; can't believe Acer are selling these without a fix for such a widely acknowledged issue.

Aspire V5 also has the Qualcomm Atheros AR5BWB222 causing similar Wifi problems for my Aspire S7 - 391, seee this thread Aspire-S7-391-Wifi-problems

Mister Acer, I see your logo on this Acer-owned Forum, when are you finished exploring the "beyond limits" so that you can reply on this ??? Are you handling this issue of today or should we, acer customers, also explore beyond ?

Since my first inquiry, I saw that a few folks had tried to install a new driver (Kinda hard when your signal is constantly dropping!) located on the Acer Support page: http://us.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/drivers , Any-who, I ended up downloading the latest WLAN Driver (New) 10.0.0.217.v3 When I got my laptop, I was running 10.0.0.209 . After I updated my driver yesterday afternoon, I tried using it as much possible. I brought it with me tomy bf's house, to the coffeeshop, and home. (Just to make sure it wasn't just one wi-fi spot) and I hope I am not jinxing myself, but I have not had a dropped signal yet. I will update again, with a week's use.

FYI - not sure if this makes a difference, but when I was trying to download the driver, it was harder to do at night (telling me 45 minutes to dl!) but when I had tried to download it in the wee hours of the morning , it was much quicker (11 minutes) . Like I said, this worked for me (so far) , I understand everyone may not have the same outcomes, but I hope this helps!

UPDATE: I've also updated my driver from the original 10.0.0.209 to the 10.0.0.217 provided on the Acer website. This solves the dropping wifi issue, but introduced yet another problem: occasionally the wifi driver will refuse to work. the laptop will failto detect wifi, only stating it's status as 'network is available'. But when you click on the wifi icon, nothing will happen. Restarting the laptop promptly solves the issue.

I'm not complaining much seeing how this is a vast improvement compared to my previous situation (wifi dropping every 30 minutes or so). But preferably, I would have prefered if it works perfectly without me having to restart my laptop every now and then.

I just wanted to update everyone on my laptop since I had installed the new driver. Its been about a week and I only had one Wi-Fi signal dropped but promptly came back.. other than that, it's been great. One thing I did notice that the laptop lags every now and then..sometimes takes a while to load a page .

Hello. I had the same frustrating problem. I went to http://us.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/drivers and downloaded the correct driver for my laptop. Just put in your laptop specs and follow the prompts. CLick on the button to have it tell you your specs if you don't know who makes your LAN. If you are having trouble with your wifi you may have to download on another computer and transfer it to a flash drive to install it on your computer. That's what I did. As of right now, its working. I hope it stays that way. Good Luck!

The post above mine is good advice but thee is one somewhere else that also suggests the unticking of the "allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" box in the power management tab.

Also it's vital that you download the driver before disabling / uninstalling the existing device/ driver as afterwards without the driver you won't be able to get on the net !!

@daveydave7, turning off the power management feature didn't help in my case. Whe I turned it off, somehow I ended up with my laptop not having permission to turn off the wifi driver. It ended up not being able to shut down the laptop completely, forcing Windows to perform memory dump everytime I shut donw (it took an average of 10 to 15 minutes every time).

i didn't mingle with the power management after I updated my driver, as the wifi issue was sort of solved.

I bought this Acer Aspire V5-571P for my wife a week ago and i thas been dropping wifi connection every 7-10 minutes since i turned iton for the first time. I have been combing these boards for the last 2 days and the acer site and last night the only drivers for the wlan were from october and december of 2012. As of 8 am this morning a new wlan driver has been added in place of the october driver. It's dated 3/18/2013 Version 10.0.0.225 this is what you need. Plugged in the adapter for the corded lan cable so i could download the driver without dropping my internet connection,saved it, unzipped the file, ran the setup application, clicked the modify tab, let it do its thing, then chose the update/restart button on the charms tab and since it has restarted i have not lost connection once. No more waiting for .218my friends... .225 is here!
