We live in the country and don't need a secured network.....in fact, my other devices were finicky when it was secured. There must be some setting adjustment somewhere.....but I don't know what to look for.
Thanks again,

The wifi connection on windows 8 will turn itself off intermittently.
location:

Original Title: wifi turns off aspire v3 atheros windows 8.
I have a brand new acer aspire v3-771g-6851 laptop. atheros ar5bwb222 wifi adapter. the wifi connection will turn itself off intermittently. windows diagnose connection program doesn't find a problem, however, the wifi connection is reestablished once it
finishes detection. After some testing, I also managed to figure out that whenever the connection is lost, i can simply turn airplane mode on, then off again, in order to get the wifi adapter to turn back on and reestablish connection with my router. I have
a windows 7 laptop and a macbook pro laptop that both connect to the router with no problems. I have used windows update to update the driver for the atheros card.
