Hi,
About 2-3 weeks ago, wireless networking problems started to occur with my laptop (Acer 5552G) using the Atheros AR5B97 Wireless Adapter. Everything was fine up until the family computer was sent in to get repaired. When it got back the problems began.
What happens is that it says everything is connected to my router and that I should be getting a fine wireless connection. But what happens is that the internet will not work unless I disable and enable the adapter. Even then, that only works on occasion. If I leave it, I won't get a working connection till about 5 minutes and then it works for about 20 seconds and cuts out again. We have a D-Link router if that helps, but this problem is really starting to piss me off so if you have any fix that would be greatly appreciated!
P.S I have tried disabling High Speed Bluetooth in the adapter settings with no avail. I have also updated the drivers to the latest. (10.0.0.75)
EDIT: Sorry, the family computer is a separate one to my personal laptop. The family one is a crappy XP that's about 7 years old with tape keeping it together.
