My friend's Aspire E 15 keeps dropping from the wireless AP. I've tried:
1. Updating the drivers
2. Disabling the OS's ability to turn off the adapter to save power
3. Throttling the connection to strictly 802.11b
It's dropping even though she sits within 15 feet of the AP. None of the other devices connecting to the AP have a problem. I don't think it's a loose antenna because I've tried shaking the laptop gently from different angles to see if that would disconnect it, and it didn't. Further, and curiously, she has the same number of bars for reception from 1 foot away from the AP, and when on the other side of the house. It dropped her twice in a 30 minute period while I was there. She has to manually reconnect to the AP for some reason. Windows 10.
Any ideas?
