So I recently bought a new Acer Aspire V3-722g laptop, and the only problem I encountered was random disconnects or more like Limited Acces to net. This laptop has qualcomm atheros ar5bmd222 network adapter and I saw I am not the only one with this problem. Can anyone help me out?

i've had the same issue on my v3-771. you can fix it by updating the atheros driver to version 10.0.0.217

if you are unsure on where to get them, look through the following thread

the second post i linked should explain how to find the download on the acer website. the driver will work on any laptop using the network adapter you mentioned, but for some reason acer doesn't list it for some of their models. the download section for the v3-771 i'm using listed an outdated driver which still had the random disconnects, so be sure to get the exact file mentioned in the other thread.

found this on internet and it works

Control Panel -> Device Manager.

View (menu) choose "Show Hidden Devices"

Network Adapters -> right-click Microsoft Wi-Fi Direct Virtual Adapter.

Properties-> Power Management

Unclick "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power."
