Aspire V5 wifi connection unstable and slow

Hello, I have an Aspire V5-552P running Windows 8.1 x64. I upgraded from 8 to 8.1 months ago, but recently I started having problems with my wifi connection. When I try to connect to my home network I get an error. Sometimes I will connect to the network but I will either have no internet access or very slow internet. My other devices are able to connect to the network just fine so I am confident it is a problem with the laptop. I am able to connect through ethernet just fine, so I think there is a problem with my wireless adapter. Everything on my laptop has been updated to the latest versions, the drivers, the BIOS, everything. I've tried using the Windows troubleshooter but it doesn't fix the problem. Can anyone help me?

It's not a hardware issue with the wireless card. It's related with the wireless driver. You can fix this issue by installing the new wireless driver.

You may Download the driver

Then run the Setup file and click Run as administrator.

Restart the laptop, it will work.

I installed the latest wireless driver and although I am able to connect to the network it is still very slow. Most of the time pages won't even load.
