The first thing I did was go into Device Manager. Highlight the Atheros network adapter and right click, then click on properties. Click the "Advanced" tab. Select "Power Save Mode" from the list, then set it to "Off". I also updated my Atheros driver, and all is working well now. The version of the driver on Acer's website is not the latest. You need the latest version- which is v7.6.1.149. I'm sorry, I don't remember where I downloaded the driver- but it isn't on the Acer website. I found it through a link that was posted in one of the Aspire One forums: http://www.aspireoneuser.com/forum/ A quick Google for that particular driver turned up a few other places it is posted on the net. I've been using it for several weeks and it's been working great. Hope this helps. Truth Seeker I have have AA1, and had the same problem. The first thing I did was go into Device Manager.

You should try experimenting with your router settings. I had similar stubborn problems when I got mine. If I recall correctly, disabling QoS, using a shared WEP key worked for me. I also played around with the UPNP settings too I think. Good luck, RK @Eugene.

I bought one finally. However this computer has a major problem-the Atheros wireless card. It switches off after 30-50min of use. Just disappears. Then you need to reboot the computer to get the wireless card working again. This problem has been all over Acer chat rooms, but nobody from the persons reviewing the product mentions about it. I have tested all available drivers for this card, but no luck. Does somebody have a solution for this problem? Dear All,
