  3. Even disconnect constantly when connected to my Samsung Galaxy W Personal Hotspot.

Answer
The acer site has two sets of drivers - one for windows 8 and one for windows 8 upgraded from windows 7. Have you upgraded your O/S from an earlier version of O/S?

Can you please try the version Atheros 10.0.0.217 and install it using the above method?


Thanks,
