[ubuntu] Acer Aspire V3-571G Unreliable Wireless

http://ubuntuforums.org – Hello All, I've just installed the x64 Desktop edition of 12.04 on my Acer Aspire V3 571G. The wireless does connect, though it can take a while. The problem is the wireless only stays connected for 45 minutes max. before it drops out, and then it continually 'reconnects' (never actually connecting to the network) until I either switch between a few networks or turn wireless off and on again. I'm using the ath9k driver that Ubuntu provides, and (although it shouldn't make a difference) GNOME3. Is there a more stable wireless driver available that I could use? Regards, Ben. (Hardware)

My wireless card in my Acer Aspire 7551G shows wireless networks in range but wont connect to any of them. I am running an Atheros AR928x Wireless network card (windows reports it as a AR5b93). Also as a side note, whenever i turn on my computer, my wireless is disabled.

I recently installed Ubuntu 10.4 on my new Dell Studio 1558. After installing the broadcom proprietary driver for my wireless card, the wireless for my laptop worked fine.

wireless doesn't work 25 weeks 2 days ago

I have installed Ubuntu 11.04 on my Acer Aspire 4349 with AR9485 wireless network adapter. The wired connection works fine, but I can't connect to wireless. The enable wireless tab is not listed on the network manager. Please help me with this. Thank you.

Hi all.

There's an exclamation point next to my wireless icon up at the top which concerns me. I've just installed Ubuntu 10.04 yesterday - absolutely love it.

The only problem is that I'm having trouble with staying connected to my wireless network...

When it is connected, there is an exclamation point next to the wireless icon.

Wireless will not connect 33 weeks 4 days ago

Just recently installed Crunchbang Waldorf on my Acer Aspire One 722. My problem is that it will not connect to any local wireless networks. Two here are open, and one is secured (I forget the protocol). Upon selecting them in nm-applet it will spin for a while then show "The network connection has been disconnected", stop, then resume the cycle.

So I recently installed Ubuntu on my Acer Aspire V3-551 laptop. I have an Atheros AR5BWB222 wireless adapter.

Everything works fine except for the wireless. I can sometimes connect to the wireless, but most of the time it will be making an attempt to connect and then enver connect.

It's hard to sumamrise this into a title, but it's simple.

On the Acer Aspire One, there's a button on the bottom to turn on and off the wireless card. In Ubuntu, it does work, but is sporadic and difficult, so I leave it alone.

Instead, I cilck on the wireless icon at the top and disable it.

Hello experts!

I have a Acer Aspire V3-571G running 64-bit BT5 R3. I have spent several days trying to get the wireless up and running to no avail, and therefore i must turn here for advice.

The laptop comes with a Broadcom card. I have also tried installing a TP-link WN721N usb-dongle and most recently a D-link DWA-127. None of these will install.
