Notebooks & Netbooks

Ok this one is for the books...

        I have an  Acer Aspire 5233-BZ893 which I will call OLD computer.

        I also just bought a Aspire V3 731-4634, I will call this NEw computer

        I use a Belkin wifi

        Ok here it goes,

        I started the new computer and it runs fine and connects fine to the internet,

        I started the old computer and all I did to it was remove the startup password so my kids can start using it.

        Now I have limited no internet activity! Never had any issues with this. DO not know why!

        any way, I did the acer recovery for the drivers, did the remove the card on device manger and reboot and reinstall.

        Still nothing! I am losing whatever hair I have left. I even installed the latest drivers for the Atheos card.

         Please help.

I'm not following which computer or if both are having this issue?

It may also be worth looking into updating the firmware of your router to reduce compatibility issues, though doesn't exactly apply if we're talking about your AS5233.

HI..Thanks for the reply...No the new computer works fine with the wifie..nbut my old computer is having the issues. Please advise what to do

Does this model have a wireless switch on the side or front ?  a slide switch ?

You mean the Acer? No it does not. As I said I never had any issues. The NEW acer works fine. My OLD acer is the one acting up. And when I mean old it is is only 2 years old. So it must be something simple. The windows diagnostics says the wirelss wifi card has no issues. But I am stumped at what else to do. I even used the recovery by going back to the settings of  a few days in the past. Please help and thanks all!!

Check your router settings, this is a router issue and not a computer issue

Good luck

Thanks for the input...but if it was a router issue, why is the new computer working fine?

i have the same problem mate, the old computer has not compability with security thing maybe ot something similar it is not a big deal, just check the power tab in wifi properties and disable "allow this computer to turn off this device"

Good Luck

Try this and tell was what you get,

1. Go into Network and Sharing Center
2. In the left side nav, go to Manage wireless networks
3. If your network is listed there, remove it and the reboot.
   

I'm interested to see if you still have some old network data in there, and if so clearing it out makes any difference for you.

Thanks,
Cory
