Hi,
Could you please tell us the card in your laptop, is it Intel 9560? If so, I couldn't find anyone who has successfully upgraded to another card in this model, I suspect the problem could arise from Interface Type M2 CNVio but I could be completely wrong.1 -

Trying to somehow install a new WiFi card in your laptop is problematic, it is NOT a user upgradeable item. However a plug and play USB WiFi card would solve that problem, so my advice is to go that route. Take a look at these

Yes it is intel 9560. Thanks for the info. Has this WiFi card been an issue from what you know of it? Actually I can look it up. It seems to be fine so far just wanted to know if I could upgrade it.brummyfan2 said:Hi,

Thank you for your response. I have looked at the usb route a little but if this intel 9560 card is an issue then I guess Acer can fix it. No need to have something plugged in to the side. The manufacturing date on mine is 3 months ago so should fine.andylb said:
