So 2 weeks after I bought my acer e15 touch and I worked myself through multiple bugs and annoyances my wifi started to get slower and slower until it stopped completely. It would work slow to load the page on youtube but the video would run fine. Sometimes it would say that there was no connection. It ridiculous because our wifi is 40 Mbps and my TV, Mac, Multiple iPhones and xbox connect more then fine enough. It makes me sick that I had my mac for a year no problems ever but I got this $500 laptop and it gets multiple problems in its first week. It always gives me the 4 bars but then when something doesn't know it decides To tell me my wifi is limited. How can I solve this? Please no BS restart the computer then turn it back on. I already ran troubleshooting and it said there is no problem.

    1. Update the firmware on your wireless router.
    2. On your wireless router 2.4 ghz settings, change the channel width to "20 Mhz". Don't use 40 MHz or 20/40.
    3. On your wireles router settings. Try channel 1, 6 or 11.
    4. Check to see if there is an updated wireless card driver on Acer support website for your laptop.
