Dodgy wireless button

Options
Hi. I have an Acer 5920. I have numerous little problems, but today's challenge is to work out what is wrong with my 'wireless card'. Sometimes I lose internet connection and only through repeated disabling/enabling of the wireless card via Device Manager, can I get it working again - and sometimes not! At other times it works like a dream! Sometimes the little orange light is glowing indicating the WLAN is working when it isn't, sometimes it turns off with the connection. Something dodgy...any ideas???? :think:

    You could try reinstalling the driver for it. In Device manager instead of disabling, uninstall, then click action then scan for hardware changes.

    If you still have the same trouble after doing this then you could try to search the internet for updated drivers for your wireless card then install those.

    Hope this helps!
