I just bought an Aspire V5 571P.   The wireless drops ever fifteen minutes or so.  Does anyone have an idea what is causing this?

    For those experiencing this problem there is a simple fix that took 3 weeks for me to find but I no longer am having issues.

    Download the Atheros Wireless LAN Driver form the Acer drivers site, us.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/drivers, search by model # (V5-571p) as the seriel number or SNID search box did not work for me. At the bottom of the driver list you will see two Wireless LAN drivers, download the Atheros one. Once downloaded click on the apllication file named setup. Allow the setup program to run and when it asks if you want to replace or repair, you want to 'repair'. That should end your problem.

     

    I did not need to do this but I saw on the same post that gave the above information that if you are still having difficulty download and run the setup file two more times, choose 'replace' the first time and 'repair' the second time.
