I'm having problems with a completely new Acer 4820TG Laptop. As i got it out of the case it did it's factory settings etc.. and i got a clean windows straight from the factory. Then i installed NOTHING and tried working a bit on it, everything works properly except! the wireless internet.
What happens:
After a random interval 5 seconds - 2-3 minutes the wireless completely stops working. That is, the internet stays connect but there is no active transfer of data. Sometimes the internet will resume it's work after 3-4-5 minutes, other times i have to disconnect/connect for the internet to resume working (and then go back to the start of this paragraph).
What i tried doing:
Reinstalling the wireless driver (This completely destroyed the wireless, as no other driver wanted to work after this, then i had to recover the windows from factory again t.t ).
Changing settings around (don't know if anything there worked, but nothing had changed).
Updated windows 7 fully (via a lan cable).
Tested the lan cable connection as stated before, works perfectly.
Tested the wireless on a different laptop, no breaks in the connection so i excluded the router as the problem.
Specs:
Acer Aspire TimelineX 4820TG-5454G32Mn - Core i5 450M / 2.4 GHz - RAM 4 GB - HDD 320 GB - DVD±RW / DVD-RAM - Mobility Radeon HD 5470 HyperMemory up to 3579 MB - Gigabit Ethernet, Bluetooth 3.0 HS - WLAN : 802.11b/g/n, Bluetooth 3.0 HS - Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit - 14" Widescreen TFT 1366 x 768 ( WXGA ) CineCrystal - camera.
The wireless card in question is Broadcom Wireless 802.11n (this is what it shows in the device manager).
The router is a dlink router with Wireless n support.
There is a warranty on it of course, so i'm thinking of having it checked very soon, but i wanted to know if there is a solution which won't make me go to the shop and wait a few days ^^;
