    Hi! I am having trouble with the WIFI on the Aspire m5-481PT 6644.

    When I connect with an ethernet cord, internet works fine. Wifi, the speeds become soooo slow. Dramatic difference. I tried looking up and seeing what other people did, but any advice on this would be great. I downloaded the W8 two driver's on the website (as well as the touchpad driver which was under just W7 for some reason - that did help the touchpad).

    Also another note is I do know what the solid orange and solid blue light mean. But I get a blinking orange light when I put my laptop to sleep and it's not connected to the power cord. I looked at the manual and could not find anything about that.

    So any help would be great, I just got the laptop two days ago, so I still have time to return it. I just need to get the WIFI speed up.

    Thanks!
