Acer laptop owner

Ive got an acer laptop and im pleased with it just one thing though, ive noticed that when im on the internet for say half an hour (via connection to my netgear wgr614 router) the laptop will disconnect by itself, the only way i can get back on to the internet is by repairing the connection which is getting tiresome now,

  • I have an acer laptop and have a similar problem also, if yours is wireless. Every other time I switch the laptop on the wireless is switched off, so I have to go into the power management segment in the corner to switch it back on. I have no idea why it does this, but after over a year of doing it, it drives me up the wall. Sorry I can't help.
