Acer Aspire E5-551 wifi connection issues

chrisjwood500

Hello, I have a recently bought Acer Aspire E5-551, I have been having issues with maintaining a wifi connection depending on where I am in the house:

 

Lounge - approx 4-5m from router and clear line of sight - ok

Dining room - through the next room - repeated drop outs

Bedroom (directly above the lounge - repeated drop outs

 

The max distance from the router is 12 metres through one wall or ceiling.  We have changed the channels on the router as per the IP guidance - no effect noted.

 

Can anyone advise on how to rectify this issue?  I have taken it back to the shop of purchase - and received the advice about changing the channel on the router, looking for other advice if possible, thanks.

Make sure you have the latest driver from the Acer website. Also, have you tried it on a different network? Sometimes these types of issues can be router settings, or just network hardware compatibility.
