    Hello everyone,
    I have a huge problem that's making me want to pull my hair out, and I need your help. I recently got an Acer Aspire 1830T-3927, and the wifi is horrible. It has an Atheros Ar8151 card, and no matter how hard I try with google searches and driver updates, It won't work properly. In my other room, my other Acer notebook captures the wifi perfectly and never goes below 4 bars. This one only gets 2 and sometimes doesn't connect at all after I've turned on the computer. I don't know what else to do. I've even tried installing windows 7 ultimate, instead of using 7 home that came with the notebook, but that hasn't helped either, so I just put it back to factory settings. Could someone please for the love of god help me. It will be greatly appreciated. THANKS!

    Anyone, anyone?
