    Hi, I have a Acer Acer 5315 series model ICL50 notebook running
    windows vista
    basic (walmart special from beginning of November)It has a onboard
    Atheros
    AR5007EG wireless network adapter Here is my problem it connects to my
    wireless
    connection stays connected for a few minutes open web pages ect then
    it drops the Internet connection somtimes I can get a stable connection for a long time no idea why though.I can go down to the connections in the tool
    bar and reestablish the connection stays connected for awhile then drops.Acer tech support told me to first to install and reinstall driver did thatno
    difference then they had me reinstall whole operating system did that no
    differencetheir only remain option is to send it back for service Ive
    tried this on various networks with the same results also they tried
    to say it was my wireless network when I have another laptop and desktop that work just fine here.Any Ideas on what the problem could be or what would fix it?
    Thanks in advance
