I am having nothing but issues with wifi on my S7-391. I have installed the latest drivers from the site. My problem is Wifi works fine once connected - but anytime the laptop sleeps and wakes up - it may or may not reconnect.

Help - This is really unacceptable on a high end laptop.

hello. i experience the same problem with wifi. besides that, i want to ask you if you have this problems:

1. in the music app, does the background looks like it's on motion? i have his problem. in a few seconds it stops and the contrast of the screen changes and looks bad!... ( not only in the music app, but it's more noticeable there.)

2. does the display have grey corners? mine loses some light in the botom corners and it looks like it has a little shadow there..

3. my keyboard registers sometimes 2 keys when i press one. did u notice that on your machine?

4. my touchpad doesn't work very well. when i move the cursor from one corner to the other ( in diagonal) it looks like it's not moving straight, it is like it's drowing some stairs. it wobles... it.s imprecise.

i am dissapointed because i expected to be a great machine considering the price and the brand. i hope the service will fix them.

other than that, nothing to say. great device. but still.... hope i solve this..

good luck to you too!

i have the greyish corners.. I can live with that. 

Music app seems to redraw the background - i suspect that's what you're refering too. I think that's a Win 8 deal.

My keyboard has been pretty solid. No issues. Touchpad OK 

Wifi.. Still not great after a support call.. We really need working Atheros drivers - it's hobbling a pretty nice machine. 

Acer - please tell us you're working on another driver release?

Same issue with WiFi not reconnecting after sleep mode. I even have difficulty getting it to connect after a full shutdown if it was not connecting before the shutdown. Acer - please fix this. I'm very disappointed with this issue. It really makes a beautiful machine just an expensive brick!

I am having the same issue.  I am also having the issue of no wireless network connection even when it says it is connected.  I am just trying to copy a file from another pc on the network, and it takes reconnecting to the network several times even though it says it is still connected.  I thought it may be my home network, but then at my grandparents and at my parents I will be online and then I can't open any links even though it shows I have a connection and full bars.  Complete crap wifi connectivity.

I am having that as well - showing connected but not - and then Windows kinda gets lost and I usually need to reboot. 

I think I am sending mine into service - Acer can figure it out....

My s7 wifi connection will freeze about once an hour, everything I am doing comes to a halt and I need to either wait a few minutes or manually turn wifi on and off to get it working again.

I have confirmed with a different device that wifi is working during these times, does anybody have an idea on how to fix this?

I have the same problem on my S7-391 when im surfing the wifi im losing the wifi conection.

I have installed the new drivers i think thats the problem the new wifi driver is not good.

I dont had this problem on the default wifi driver so try to install the old driver but i dont know how

I tried regressing the drivers - for me it was buggy on both versions - Laptop goes into service today. I kinda hope it's hardware related but I bet they find no issues.. 

Sigh - I am considering buying a cheap Wifi usb dongle that has support until (or IF) acer/qualcomm ever fix this... So my paperweight becomes useful..

I have the same problem with a flaky Wi-Fi connection.

Just updated the driver to version 10.0.0.217, however the problem still exists!

This is one of those things that you make dislike a PC, it is not bad enough to buy a new WiFi card and it works just good enough to suffer.

Returning the PC to the supplier is not an option after all the installs...

Hopefully there is a newer driver update soon!
