Laptop won't connect to internet

A19B1C12 · 2013-12-09 18:24:03

Hey all, My laptop (Acer Aspire 5560g) suddenly started giving me trouble the other day and is very volatile with regards connecting to the internet. It recognizes my network no problem but when I try to connect it often fails or disconnects, no other devices have any issues so it's not the router. Any chance of any of you…

Any chance of any of you might know what is wrong?

Before you uninstall, find the wifi card model in Device Manager in case they might use different types, like Dell sometimes do.
