Acer Aspire 5100 Laptop - Originally had XP Media Center
Did a full wipe and install of Vista 32 Business Edition.
After update and install of all the drivers everything seems to be working perfect.
The other day I noticed my computer goes limited or little connectivity on my home network. I disconnect and try to reconnect and it fails. I can shut down and restart my machine and then wifi works like a champ.
On my other computers I have 0 wifi issues. This leads me to believe something is wrong with my wireless in my laptop. Should I try and re-install the drivers, would it make sense that it worked fine before and now all of a sudden I am losing connectivity.
Some background information- I rarely use this machine, I have a desktop and a work laptop as well as a Dell Mini 9 netbook. I haven't really installed anything on my acer - I also haven't done much websurfing (and the sites I have gone to include msn.com nfl.com gmail.com). Reason for upgrade to vista - this laptop kept freezing and displaying a gray striped screen - requiring a hard restart sometimes battery pull.
Do you think this is a hardware issue? Should I post this to the vista forum? Other than that the computer seems to run beautifully. I'd like to sell the machine but I wouldn't want to sell it if it wasn't working correctly.
Thanks TTers
