Windows Tablets

[1stTimeAcer]

.234 is now out from Qualcomm, and this is a full set with a new .222 bluetooth.

if you are going to use this new driver, make sure you do it correctly! That means uninstalling ALL previous qualcomm wifi/bluetooth software and drivers

edit: Just ran some test by running speedtests while using a Jambox, it looks like we may have a winner. It performed at least as well and may even be a bit faster than the .221, and bluetooth interference seems to be much less as well

Thanks a lot a lot !

I tried it.  Same results as the others, but with 227, 222 and 221 I was abe to turn off BT and get a fairly stable wifi signal.  This one didn't perform that way for me.  I plugged in my cheap $10 usb wifi adapter and got a stable 3meg download with BT active.  I am curious if others have the same result.

I tried also but for me I have the same problems !

My problems :

- The connexion wifi it's ok but very slow

- Sometimes the signal it's good and sometimes not

- Sometimes the surf on internet it's ok and sometimes I wait for the web page come

I install the new driver. But I try also to configure my roter with the 802.11g (and not 802.11n). But the wifi is not good.

What can I do ?

Thany you very much !

i have installed 227 driver, previously i was using 221 and it was good for me. 227 unlike 222,225 looks as good as 221 so i am keeping it installed

Hello evryone,

I just testet drivers 10.0.0.234

Download from http://station-drivers.com/page/atheros.htm (At the bottom of the page)

driver details:

Version 10.0.0.234 WHQL

05/04/13

No more issue with slow wifi connection,

Mouse running nice and smoothly,

I'm using Bluetooth & mouse at once.

I recommend testing .234 version drivers.

[busben]

For me I install this new driver but I have more problems.

When I have the bluetooth active and the wifi connexion, the internet connexion is not stable (I have some interruption) and very slow. But when I desactivate the bluetooth the wifi connexion run very well !

So for me the problem is the cohabitation between the wifi and bluetooth.

@timoti26 

Can you please say me how you install this new driver ? You uninstall something before ? Can you say me please what you do exactly ? Thanks a lot in advance. I want to solve this problem ...

To properly install the new drivers......

1st, go to control panel, select programs...uninstall qualcomm installation program.

2nd, go to control panel, select hardware.........go to device manager......navigate to qualcomm network driver...right click and select uninstall.      when prompted select the box unisntall all software for this device.

3rd, navigate in device manager to bluetooth module, right click, select uninstall,....... when prompted select the box uninstall all software for this device.

once the bluetooth module is uninstalled, you will need to restart your tablet. 

navigate back to the device manager, make sure it does not see the prior drivers you just uninstalled for the wifi and bluetooth.

then install the drivers that you downloaded by opening up the folder and running setup.

after installation is complete, you will be prompted to restart your tablet.   i have found that instead of selecting restart now, hold  down the power button until the machine shuts down.  this forces a full boot of the machine   then turn on the machine normally.

i hope this helps.........

Ok thany you very much for your help ! I can't test now but I will do this evening and I hope it will be good ! I hope, I hope, ... !

At the end of the re-installation of the new driver you mean thant i click "no" to reboot but I stop my tablet and after I reboot manually ? Correct ?

Thank you a lot !
