    I have 10.0.0.276, downloaded direct from the Acer website.
    It seems to be relatively stable on one network where I am next to the router, but still seems to drop on another network, where I am further from the router but still within signal range.
    I'll need to do more testing on ranges and networks to be sure, but it still seems to be an issue.

    Hello, I have an acer v7-581pg with the atheros ar5bwb222 adapter, it works well when it is close to the router but once the signal is a little bit lower it doesn't connect.

    I am using several other devices with my wireless router and all of them connect with no problems so I think the problem is in the laptop.

    I have changed the power settings, and installed the 10.0.0.274, I even uninstalled the antivirus and other software that could interfere, but nothing helped. Has anyone found any other solution?

    Yes. Sell laptop and forget about Acer products.

    I Tried everything in the forums from acer windows and atheros... Nothing worked. I even bought a new wifi card but nothing worked.

     

    The only thing I had to do in the end to solve it was setting my IP adress manually. Give it a high range

     

    Wifi card

    IP-adress 192.168.1.10

    Subnetmask 255.255.255.0

    Standard gateway 192.168.1.1

     

    Preferred DNS-Server 8.8.8.8 (the one of google)

     

     

    Lancard

    IP-adress 192.168.1.11

    Subnetmask 255.255.255.0

    Standard gateway 192.168.1.1

     

    Preferred DNS-Server 8.8.8.8 (the one of google)

    So finaly after 3 months I have Internet, I hope it works for you guys to!

     

    Acer, Windows and Atheros, Thank you for all your understanding and support (NOT)
