Re: C720 Chromebook - wifi connection drops

I"m an Amazon Vine member and I just received my C720 today. Everything was going great until the battery got down under 60%. Then, the Chromebook's WiFi began to drop out every ten minutes or so. Now, the Chromebook is at 27%, roughly 3 feet away from the router (which I have moved multiple times... Above the CB, below it, next to it, 10 feet away from it, 3 inches away from it on either side) and the connection is dropping out every minute or so. The drop outs get worse if I leave the CB idle. And before we go blaming the router, it's a MediaLink, the highest rated router on Amazon, which has only had to be rebooted once in three years and has flawless connections to two laptops, an Epson printer, BluRay player and SmartTV. It is not the router.

I have to write my review on Amazon of this CB by December 29th and if this problem can't be resolved I'm going to have to give it 2 stars, because without a network connection the CB is useless, and I'm sure neither Google or Acer want that kind of a review.
