Acer e15 windows 8 laptop keeps losing Wifi

[Paul_13]

This is really f*cking me off now. 

Brand new Acer e15 laptop on Windows 8.

It keeps losing Wifi, I've reset the modem, I've changed the power saving settings on the WiFi to performance (not power saving) 
there's something about downloading a atheros arb5b97 wWifi driver but I'm struggling to actually find a place to download the file. 

Has any body else had this problem? 

---

It literally stays connected for 30 secs then disconnects.
The longer the laptop stays on the worse it gets.
No problem with the WiFi on 2 phones and my other laptop

windows update and then look in the option menu?

or go to the support section of the acer website and find the driver for your model of laptop?

or i presume there is an acer update software that will find it for you?

Does this particular model have a touchscreen?

Ok I'll have a look Sam.

No touch screen on this model. Apparently it's a common problem, but with some people it still persists.

I've done the methods where is solved it for other people but it hasn't for me

[Eeyore]

I think its bound to be a driver issue.

Always loosing wifi no matter where you are or only at home ?
What's your router/access point ?

[Paul_13]

It's losing Wifi wherever.
I think you're right Sam. There's quite a few suggestions about it online

i tried looking on acers support page for an "e15" but it appeared nowhere, if you can post the full model number i'm sure we could sort it for you, as far as i can tell it's a driver issue, do you get "limited connection" status when you lose connection? As this is a commonly known problem and easily fixed with a WLAN Adapter Driver update.

I've just "rolled back" the driver software to a previous setting and it seems to of fixed it.

I hope ....
