I recently bought this notebook and did a clean install of Windows 7 Ultimate. Updated and installed all the drivers but none of the extra Acer add ons or any of the other bloatware.
First thing I noticed was I couldn't find any bluetooth settings or turn it on or do anything even though I had the proper drivers installed. I then installed the Launch Manager, which is activated by pressing Fn+F3 and that allowed me to turn on the bluetooth.
The past couple days I have noticed when waking up from sleep mode the wifi is switched off and does not turn on by itself. I've never experienced this with any of my other laptops and netbooks.I'm assuming it turns off when it goes to sleep but when it wakes up the Wifi is not getting that message, if that makes sense...
Anyone have any ideas? Acer support was a waste of time. They suggested re-installing the driver but obviously that isn't the problem because after wifi is manually turned on its great.

I tried changing the power management settings for the wifi adapter but no luck...I can't figure out what it is that prevents the adapter from automatically turning back on, the bluetooth seems to be fine even when waking from sleep or hibernation. -
It still might be a driver issue but rather than re-installing the default one I'd update the driver to the most recent one available on the net (not on Acer Support site though- they never update drivers- try Station Drivers)

I have an update to this. I have managed to solve the problem for the wifi staying switched off after sleep. Now it turns on but takes almost a minute to reconnect to my network and shows a red x on the network icon until it connects. My HP netbook with an Atom processor connects instantaneously after sleep...

My research has led me to conclude that this is a problem occuring with Windows 7 users, its annoying as hell...and this forum is pretty useless...
