Download, install and run slimdrivers at SlimDrivers.OneDownloader.comThis is free and very reliable software that should solve the problem. If not, contact me at vchorney@verizon.net.

I reset my router about once a week to resolve this problem.I don't believe it's the net book at fault but something to do with the router taking a break from it's work. Sometimes my cable company disconnects which is when i reset their connection also. I love this machine by the way... fabulous value for the money.

Mr. Kinney,I "bastardized my Acer chromebook to work with Ubuntu OS, which I use exclusively. Never used it as originally intended. and have no issues with wireless. Sorry could not help - unless you are using it with Ubuntu. If you do decide to install ubuntu (on partitioned disk, you have to be VERY CAREFUL with it.

Hi G Clark, We do not have that information since Acer did not specify the fixes made on its latest Wireless LAN driver. But the latest version is 10.0.0.225, dated March 18, 2013. Thanks, PCrush

I bought it yesterday at Best Buy and had the same problem Janice L. Cox, M.Birch and Andrew had. After connecting to my wireless network, the device randomly disconnects, even when the rest of my devices are still connected to the wireless router without issues. Sometimes to reconnect I have to power-cycle the device altogether, or go to settings -> networking -> find my network again -> re-enter password.

First place your finger on the WiFi signal bar and hold it. It sould come up with a statement, troubleshoot WiFi. Let the Asus do it's thing and it should correct the problem. I am sure you have but make sure the security code is right for the wireless modem. I have used mine on several different WiFi locations and once or twice I had to troubleshoot, it corrected by itself. Other than that no problems.

Thanks, If I can get/keep a connection I'll try downloading the driver. Already did the power saver. No luck for me there.

It might just be your connection, as I never have any issues with Wifi. Does the issue persist at all wifi locations, or just at home/work? If it's just at home, it could be your wireless router.

Well, very good question. I mean it' kinda cute for a net book computer but the really why I say it sucks cuz when I got it. I was so exited but when I tryed to go online. That's where I think the problem got started. I tryed to go to Internet connections. Then put in the wifi passcode but I guess didn't work. So after so so many attempts. I gave up on it. Hope the review helped.

I'm having the same problem. I just rebooted it and used it for a while, browsing the embedded web server, then watched it go dead as soon as it entered sleep mode. I woke it up by tapping the touchscreen but it still doesn't reconnect. Its wireless status screen shows it connected with an IP address. Pinging that IP address gets no response. Very frustrating. UPDATE: Rebooting my Netgear N600 (Model WNDR3700) router seemed to fix the problem, even after the printer went back into sleep mode.

Connecting to the network router only works with firmware v2.0.1. If you update to 2.0.4/2.0.5 it doesn't work.

I haven't had problems with wifi. You may want to see if you have the latest software for it.

Same problem. I got a faster and better router and upgraded my mps from 20 to 50. Still drops a lot (Default gateway not found)... Bought a external USB wireless adapter and now it works perfectly. Well not perfectly, it is like a spare tire; quick fix but does not really solve problem. A computer this expensive shouldn't need an auxiliary part that sticks out the side.

No, I Have a dual band router and it only picks up 2.4. In fact that is my last favorite part of this laptop is the wireless. It constantly drops my wifi. It shows connected bit is not. I've bought a new USB wireless and a new w router to make sure it's my network card's issue. Other than that, it's been a good laptop.

I own this model and I'm having the WiFi issue Asus is no help their website is useless and the customer service is poor. I will reply when I figure it out, updating the driver did nothing and upgrading to WinDos 10 same.

I would recommed you to update driver for Wi-Fi adapter because with old driver it works unstably.
