Read the myriads of Acer wifi problems all over this forum. Seems to be a common issue.

I am experiencing the same problem. It is so frustrating, i just got this laptop a week ago. Now im thinking of returning it please let me know if anybody find a solution to this problem.

The only solution right now is to use a wired connection

Bought an Acer Aspire V5-471P last Christmas for my wife, she's always been complaining about the WiFi that keeps on disconnecting. It's very inconvenient to keep on disconnecting/reconnecting to re-establish connection. Don't have any problems with my two Asus laptops connected to my wireless router. Hope Acer would be quick enough to resolve this WiFi issue.

All,

Please refer to my post here. Newly updated drivers are available, with additional drivers being released as soon as they are tested and qualified.

This is very frustrating. I can't even stay connected to wifi long enough to download the latest driver. I will be returning this. This will teach me to buy a cheap laptop out of quick necessity without doing research.

I was having the same problem. Like I said was. I purchased mine yesterday. All last night and for the better part of today, I was getting to know my new Acer Aspire v5 with i5 processor. I was connected to my wifi the entire time. With no problem, I was able to surf the internet.

So, I decided to connect my Windows 8 phone to my new Windows 8 laptop via Bluetooth. Fifteen minutes later I started having wifi drops. When I realized that my Bluetooth was the problem (about 5 hours later), I had turned off my Bluetooth on my laptop and no more wifi drops.

I said that to say this, there's must be a conflict with the wifi and Bluetooth drivers, and that's what causing the wifi drops.

I hope this works for you.

So far my laptop hasn't dropped the WiFi once after I'd turned off my Bluetooth
