Hi all, i have a family member that has the above model of laptop core i3 Win 7 HP 64bit etc etc
it seems to be losing its connection to the router, which i have replaced with an Asus router, but the problem still exists. i have found out that the wifi card can suffer with connection problems, so i thought i could just swap the iffy card with one that i have spare from my own laptop, but the card fitted to the Acer is smaller? i thought they were all the same size.
any one shed some light on any of this??? or had similar issue's with the laptop mentioned?

Cheers

Thanks for the quick reply, yes i have tried different drivers from Acer but still the same, i would have just swapped card for another but the one fitted is smaller than a standard card, and there is not enough space to fit a standard size thats what have also thrown me? can you shed any light on this matey?
didn't realise that there were different size wifi cards?

Ok thanks for that, hopefully i will be able to check the dimentions before buying a replacment so i get the smaller size (hope to be able to source one for under £15)

Many Thanks
