Why does my computer keep disconnecting from the Wi-Fi at home?

So I have an Acer aspire one netbook, which I love. However, recently I have had trouble connecting to my home Wi-Fi sometimes. Sometimes it just won't connect at all and sometimes it connects but then disconnects 20 seconds later. I don't have this problem with any other Wi-Fi networks which led me to believe that it was something with the Wi-Fi network. However, no one else in my house has this issue with their laptops and my iphone never has this issue either. So I can't tell which side the issue is on or what the problem could be. Does anyone have any insight into this?

It sounds like a problem with the Wi-Fi settings in your laptop. My suggestion is to check the settings of your laptop's Wi-Fi with the other computers in your house. Change the settings on your laptop so that they are the same as the other computers in your house. If this does not work I work suggest downloading a new driver for your laptop's Wi-Fi. Here is a link to Acer where you can do that:

I feel that the router in your house is working reliably as other devices in the house can connect to it reliably.

  • Why is my internet keep disconnecting? When ever I connect my iPhone 5s to my Laptop (Windows 7) the internet just disconnects for some reason. It only disconnects the laptops Wi-Fi
  • Why does my Wi-Fi keep disconnecting? All of a sudden one day my Wi-Fi was on 1 bar and this has never happened. I have an iPod Touch. I have a home router yet its being so stupid. It worked perfectly on my bff's iPhone and it had 3 bars but for mine, the Wi-Fi name won't even pop up unless I get really really close to the router!

  • Why does my Wi-Fi extender keep disconnecting my internet? I recently bought a TP-LINK TL-WA850RE 300Mbps Universal Wi-Fi Range Extender to extend my Wi-Fi to the Wi-Fi "dead zones" of my house for better connection. All was working well until all my computers kept saying "unidentified network no internet access", and my xbox wouldn't connect either, but my iphone and ipad connect to the internet fine. The problem ends when i unplug my extender, but i don't know why the extender isn't working.
