Regarding the wi-fi/internet problems, I called Acer and they walked me through downloading the necessary driver.  They said the disconnect/limited problems are from the driver that comes with the Aspire V5 and their other laptops.  The driver needed is "wireless LAN".  They were very nice and told me exactly what to click on, open, etc. (because I'm not a computer expert).  I've had no problems since they helped me.  If you're having problems with the wi-fi, please call the number and tell them you need to download the wireless driver.  They will tell you exaclty what to do.  I hope this is helpful.

Just wondering...if so many V5 user face this prob, why dont this very big, brilliant, excellent Acer company give a link guiding the user (including non expert like me also) instead of ALL the problem users call them & they answer one by one!

Anyway thanks for the usefull info!

I have only just purchased my new Acer Aspire V5-571PG with Windows 8 and touchscreen this week and have this problem as well.

I have checked my Device Manager (in My computer) is on. And checked BlueTooth devices is off, and still the wireless is dropping out, or having limited connectivity.

Looks like everyone is having the same problem, and it is the Device driver.

Where exactly can I find out on my computer what version I have at the moment?

And where do I go exactly to download/install the new updated device driver that will fix this problem?

Thanks so much guys, hope you can help!
