Hello, I’ve got an Acer Notebook here. I have the same WiFi signal with it like with every other device, but a connection to the WiFi is only possible if the notebook is directly next to the router. 20m away I still get 4 of 5 bars signal, but the connection isn’t possible. I already tried upgrading from W8 to W10, updating/deleting/reinstalling the drivers, different WiFi networks… Still the same Problem. Could the WiFi Card be damaged and has to be replaced?
Follow this guide to check the WiFi card. Acer Aspire V5-572, V5-572G Wi-Fi half mini PCIe card Replacement There should be 2 cables connected.
just had same issue with ipad 2 which fell on the ground. found out there is a wifi antenna at bottom where the cable got broken…
I have the same problem with my Atheros network card in my Aspire V5-572P. Replace the antenna cable that is cut (pair: black and white); And still the signal is heavy. I do not know if it is a motherboard incompatibility with the atheros card which reduces power to the Wlan. If anyone has any solutions please post it.
