Acer V5 471 PG Wifi intermittent failure Qualcomm Atheros AR5Wb222)

Musk

Recently 17/Feb/2013 purchased an acer aspire V5 471PG.

The Wi Fi keeps going into the Limited mode very frequently!! Frustrating..

I have set the options in Power MAnagement (Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power) to OFF - Unchecked. Inspite of this keep having this recurrent problem. Also have verified if the drivers are latest, no use.

Anyone has a solution for this? Please help.

More importantly i think this is for ACER to address, this seems to be a prolific problem with all your recent models? Whats happened to the Quality Standard? Please review wether Qualcomm Adapters are to be used going forward.

With no solution for Millions of buyers, will Accer be announcing a Recall? We need answers...

(Just now while hitting the submit button it conked!!!) Had to come back and Re submit!!

Have updated the driver to V 221. LEt me check for the rest of the day and update if there are issues.

Hope it works! Keeping my fingers crossed!!

 

Pls ignore the above Driver, seems to be from an untrusted source. best is to visit the Acer downloads site and use the Ver 17 Driver, so far after two hours of installation it hasnt given me trouble. Will update again.
