Hi,

I ordered a new Aspire 5 Pro A517-51GP-88WT this week, but unfortunately the WiFi connection to my Fritzbox 7390 is not working. The upload failed and download is not very fast. After searching on the internet I figured out that this is caused by the combination of the Qualcomm QCA9377 and the Fritzbox 7390. I read that people replaced the Qualcomm by an Intel WiFi adapter successfully on other Acer laptops. After the replacement the WiFi was working fine (cheaper than ordering a Fritzbox 7590). Unfortunately I cannot find a list with compatible WiFi adapters for my Aspire 5 Pro A517-51GP-88WT.

Could somebody tell me where to find a list? I'm wondering whether an Intel AC9260 is compatible.

Thank you in advance for your reply!

With kind regards,
 Arjan
