I bought an Acer Aspire V5 two months ago. I am having trouble connecting to the Wifi at the place I work.
It's very frustrating. My new Acer will connect to Wifis in 6 other places I've tried to connect. But not at my work.:mad:
All other notebooks, ipads etc, including my previous laptop can connect to my work wifi - except my new Acer Aspire V5!:mad:
I have tried 1) Bringing in my own router from home (which connects fine with my AcerV5 at home) and plugging it in at work - we have now tried to use 3 routers there without success. 2) Renaming the work wifi 3) Standing right next to the router with my Acer. All no use.
When I plug in my AcerV5 at work with a cable it does work, but that is no use to me as it is in the main office, I need to use the internet in my classroom. I've had two friends in who are more knowledgeable about computers than me, they are also foxed by this! A recent theory is that the windows 8 on my Acer is not compatible in some way, though it still works everywhere else I've tried. I must admit I cannot get used to Windows 8 and regret buying this notebook.
Is there anyone out there who has any idea about this? I really need help.
