Acer Aspire Wireless Problems

A family member has bought an Acer Aspire A0751 and is finding the wireless
connection very flaky.
The wireless adaptor is an Atheros AR5007EG and the driver number is
7.6.1.221. I have tried to update the driver, has come difficulty finding a
valid download and when installed found the wireless adaptor disappeared
from device manager and became an unknown device. I used system restore to
put things back as before.
We have a number of Dell laptops and none have any problems.
Can anyone offer any advice on how to fix this?
Thanks

I have one and have not had any problems. I would check with Acer. It
could be that the antenna is not working correctly.

Best of luck,

You obtain drivers for laptops from your laptop manu.site and not MSUpdate
or elsewhere
