Acer Aspire One ZG5 - Wifi limited connectivity sudden

It's an old netbook, but it worked great for years talk WPA/WPA2-PSK to various Dlink routers. Now it suddenly does not connect, but it will connect if I set the wireless to a network open without password. Otherwise, there will always need to acqire an IP address and Yes sometimes one, but the browser will not work. I reloaded the drivers Atheros. No help. I have rebooted the system from the recovery partition. No help. There are currently on a wired ethernet connection get updated XP. I'm sure that's not material. I can start a live Linux distro and which is wireless modem and connect immediately. So, I was hoping that the reloading of the system would work. There can be no. The signal strength is not a problem. I'm testing it right next to the router.

Ok. It is fixed. I read a thread by another user had the same problem and in liquidation, using drivers on a Toshiba laptop to fix. http://forums.Dlink.com/index.php?topic=41478.0 I searched for atheros AR5007EG driver and found a 7.7.0.523 version considering that Acer list 7.6.0.224 as the most recent version. Manually updated the atheros drivers. I'm back online. Moreover, the search for drivers not on the website of the manufacturer is a minefield. Half of the links and clicks want to sell you driver tools and other things. I barely trust CNET and softpedia for content and avoid all the world. Maybe I was lucky, I found the right on softpedia.

    A look at the "front" face, under the lip of the keyboard, similar to where a lock would be on a laptop. There is here a cursor that is not a lock, but it is a switch that activates / deactivates him wireless on and outside. Slide it on until it turns on the light above it (with the logo of the antenna), indicating wireless is turned on and drag it again to turn it off.

  • Windows 7 will not update on an Acer Aspire One 722

    Hello, I have an Acer Aspire One 722 - A0722 - 64-Bit - I used the laptop and installed Windows 10 on it and it came to a crawl.  I decided to reset the computer to factory settings.  He succeeded, however, I can not install the updates of Windows.  I am running Windows 7 Home Premium with Service Pack 1.

    I tried to install updates for the first time without success and tried all the solutions I could find online.  I searched through forum after forum and tried all of the solutions that I found and not luck.  I installed several downloads, as recommended by Microsoft and not solutions.  I had subsequently to error code 8008005 and 0x8024402C and 0x8024001e.  I tried again the solutions and nothing has worked.  Most of the downloads that I did from herre: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/windows.aspx

    I finally install CCleaner and updated to Explorer 11 I downloaded directly from the Microsoft Web site.  Who succeeded.  Nothing else has.

    So, I wiped out the computer again and reset to factory settings and am at square one.  I installed NOTHING else at this point expect try Windows updates.  All I get is the progress monitor to continue to operate.  It was 'running' and research updates for nearly 30 hours and nothing.  It still reads ' check for Updates ' and nothing else.

    Any help would be appreciated as I know what else to try.  This seems to be a common problem with no real solution at this moment that my search Google told me.

    Two screenshots are below.  Thank you for any help or advice.  At this point, the computer is basically unusable and it's very frustrating.  I spent hours and hours and hours and nothing.

    Thank you all and well be.    Brad

  • Acer Aspire One Internet questions (Please HELP)

    Hey guys!

    I recently bought an Acer Aspire One netbook for school. The computer is just amazing in every way, shape and form - outside the horribly slow and buggy internet. Regardless of my connection or the browser, I have problems such as limited connections insane, usually internet slow speed and all disconnections that occur without reason. If I disconnect and reconnect to the network even after a question given, however, it works very well for the next thirty-or-so minutes, and I encounter the problem again. I noticed that if I closed the computer at a given time, open it and use the internet, these issues seem to be more important. Restarting the computer seems to temporarily solve the problem for a decent time period, but I have to restart the computer several times during a period of use, which is very inconvenient and frustrating. Due to the fact that my school is entirely internet-based, these issues (that occur whenever I use the computer, by the way) become ridiculously boring. Anyone who suffers these problems? Is it possible to fix this?

    (Disclaimer: I studied the problem and saw that there was a 'feature' that slows down the speed of the internet to save the battery, which can be disabled in the settings.) However, after doing this, these issues continue to persist.)

    Thanks for the help, everyone.

  • Acer Aspire One D270 does not turn on!

    Have an Acer Aspire One D270. I've had for about 4-5 months now. Today it suddenly has stopped and it won't turn on. I left for a few hours but nothing yet. I thought it was a battery problem but the charging light does not turn. I know for sure, it is not the charger. Please help me! Thanks in advance!

    [Moved from comments]

    Nevermind found the solution...                                                                                                              Follow the steps below. (Please be careful when you handle the electrical components of the computer such as batteries and power adapters)

    • Remove the battery and hold the power for a few seconds (drain any remaining power)
    • Turning on the computer without the battery with the AC adapter is plugged in.
    • Wait a few seconds and then reconnect the battery

    After a few tries the computer should start normally supported. The amber battery stops flashing and turns green when fully charged.

    Quick questions:

    I already upgraded my Acer Aspire One 0725-10 Windows.  However, it seems to be an incompatibility with some of my courses installed applications and drivers that several questions.  Microsoft support reviewed my concerns and concluded that a clean install of windows 10 would be the way to go.  Before doing this, it would be probably good get applications and drivers that will be needed after the installation.  If anyone can provide me with a list, it would be greatly appreciated.
