Acer wifi limited connectivity problem

Have a fix for the Windows 8 wifi limited connectivity problem?

With the help of a computer acer laptop with a Qualcomm Atheros AR5BWB222 Wireless Network Adapter on a Verizon FIOS Actiontec MI424WR using WPA2. The first WiFi is fine, then sporatically it disconnects in limited connectiviy every 10 to 60 minutes.

I think Acer-Tommy means everything is resinstall or update the driver). It came from another forum, but it was the same question and others said that it worked:

  • Acer wifi limited connectivity on C710 problem

    I bought an Acer C710 for my 83 yo Mama and it has worked well for well over a year.  We have recently added an external monitor and a keyboard for ease of use.  After a day, she suddenly lost the wifi signal.  I have a new Asus router that has been in place for about 6 weeks with no problems.

    When I put the unit near the router it connected no problem, but when I return it to its original location he sees the router, but it is out of reach.  I brought my iPad to the same location to see if it was indeed a router problem, but the iPad connected without problem.

    I can move the router with a lot of noise... Drill a hole in a cement wall to move more close but does someone at - there another solution?

    I think I found the solution.  After investigating the causes of the wifi disconnect with external monitors, it appeared that change the router channel could remedy the problem.  My Asus is set to Auto and I changed it to channel 11.  So far, keyboard and external monitor is connected to the Chromebook and wifi has still a strong signal.  No apparent problems with my other two computers.  I'll keep my fingers crossed!

  • Satellite P50t-A0EE - WiFi limited connectivity

    Help please before I do something for my new Toshiba P50t-A0EE.

    I can connect to the net via my router if I use a network cable to my Netgear DGN2200 ADSL unit.
    I can connect to the net via my phone Galaxy S2 via WiFi for my Toshiba.
    I can connect to the net through 5 other computers in my house using WiFi and my Netgear DGN2200 ADSL unit.
    I can get the net wifi with my phone too.

    BUT I can't access Internet via WiFi on my new Win P50t-A0EE Toshiba 8.1.
    It does not seem to connect, but when I try to access the net, he returned with limited connectivity.

    I unchecked the box on the wireless card in the computer where it is said to use the power control.

    If someone smarter than I beat it?

    Hello

    These and similar questions of WLan can be resolved for the most part by WLAN driver update.
    Have you tried to update the driver WLan?

    I'm not very well the laptop supports the card WLan, but this can be verified easily m.
    Go to-> network adapters Device Manager
    You will find information on the LAN and WLan cards.

    If the laptop supports Intel WLan card, trying to get the most recent update of Intel page.

  • 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.

    In the website of HP I am not able to found the Bios to win 10, could someone help me on this issue: where can I find BIOS for laptop HP G62 450 SL?

    Thank you for your support.

    Hi there @extremaratio,

    I tried to find out if there was any pilot is also available for Windows 10 and your laptop. Unfortunately, there is no driver Windows 10 is available now for your laptop HP G62-450SL.

    At this point, there are two options for you I might suggest:

    • If the Wifi works in Windows 7, you can go back to Windows 7, do all your updates and then try Windows 10.
    • If the Wifi works without a problem in Windows 7, you can return to Windows 7 at the moment until the driver is available.
    • Or you can stay with Windows 10 and wait until the driver is available. For now, I can't give you a timetable regarding when the drivers will be available.

    If you wish, you can use the following link to create yourself a file number and contact us:

    Step 1. Open the link: www.hp.com/contacthp/

  • Pavilion 17 t: WiFi limited connectivity issues (Intel AC 3165)

    I recently bought a Pavilion 17 t at Costco. Overall, I love the computer. But he has a major problem, which is unacceptable for a laptop. The wifi keeps does not. I have not found a model of either.

    I will be connected to my wireless network, and then all at once the internet will stop working. Still, it shows connected to the router, but cannot access the internet. I contacted HP support twice about this now, and their solution did not solve the problem. The BIOS has been updated, the driver has been updated, Windows 10 has been updated, the wireless driver has been uninstalled and reinstalled. I still have the problem. If I try a reboot when this happens, reboot is very, very long time. I have it clocked 2 minutes before I did a restart button Manual power on it. But the problem of restarting seems to occur whenever the wifi problem happens (assuming I do a restart). I tried to turn the wifi market, and that is difficult. He often turns back on as soon as I turn it off, or does not at all meet my attempts.

    If I connect a wired connection to the laptop, I am able to connect to the internet again. All other devices on the wireless router will still function properly when this computer does not work.

    What would be my next steps to try to solve this problem? More information if you would like me?

    HP Pavilion 17-g133-cl

    (Edit: Add product and OS info, correct a few grammatical errors.) Add the step 'Click 'OK' ').

    Well, I was all over the internet trying to solve this problem I had the same experience. I found a solution and I signed up just to post on these forums. This problem has been a nightmare and I wanted to share.

    My machine is HP Pavilion 17 G1337-CL, which has the ac3165 Intel (r) Dual Band Wireless. (I did a hardware change by exchanging on the HARD for one SSD drive)

    The problem I had was produced by the Windows power management system. When I went to a few minutes, without access to the internet it would be close. I could open a browser window, but if I was not actively sends or receives data, the connection would be closed.

    It's the solution of two parts (10 Windows):

    PART 1

    Start menu right click Windows

    Select "Device Manager".

    Open "network cards" from the drop-down list

    Right-click "Inter (R) dual band wireless AC-3165.

    Select "Properties".

    Select the tab "power management."

    Uncheck the "Allow computer to turn off this device to save power".

    Click on 'Ok '.

    PART 2

    Right click "RealTek PCIe FE Family Controller"

    Select "Properties".

    Select the tab "power management."

    Uncheck the "Allow computer to turn off this device to save power".

    Click on 'Ok '.

    Restart the computer (don't know if it's necessary, but I always restart)

    It fixed for me.

    I found part 1 on several forums, but I had to find part 2 on mine. I was connected to the internet for nearly 24 hours without a single loss of connection! Essentially, the driver for the controller has been close and do not restart properly. Without the controller, the wireless adapter cannot communicate with the system.

    Sincerely, I hope this helps, it is a beast of a problem and was all-consuming for my last three days off!

  • HP Pavilion G6: HP Pavilion G6 - limited connectivity wifi problem

    Hello

    I wanted to clear some questions on my HP Pavilion laptop

    I searched online and most of the things have not worked for me, I realized that my wifi goes generally to limited connectivity when either, I take my laptop on my lap and the place on my bed (maybe its because fans are unable to expel hot air because they are blocked?) and when I put my charger.

    To temporarily fix this I go to the "network and sharing Center" and disabling and re-enabling my wifi, but sometimes, I noticed that I turn off and when I try to turn it back on, it remains as disabled so...

    I hope someone from the support team can help me, thanks.
