Question: Wireless conection issue on Acer Aspire one-Linux More then one people have made comments on Wifi connection.Can some one please explain to me if this is because Acer's hardware issue or Linux OS's weakness in this area?
Document: I've searched the web for a solution and found out that this wireless problem seems to be an issue for a number of Acer Aspire One users out there. Some were able to fix it by running Live Update on a wired connection (I did it, but it didn't fix the problem), some played with sleep modes, reboots, etc. None of that worked for me. I tried to look up this issue on the Acer website, but their customer support is not very user friendly.
It loses network connection now and then. You can found more about the issue and some solution in aspireoneuser.com3. Noise, the fan noise is noticable. Somebody has a hack to tame the fan. Search for Aspire One fan noise in google.4. SSD, the write speed of the SSD seems slow.5. Screen, Acer could make it bigger given the space around the screen.Overall, I am pretty satified with the Aspire One. I don't hesitate to recommend it to my friends.
I've had the Acer Aspire One for over a week and have tried every single approach out there to get the wireless connection on it. the wireless networks would show up on the connection manager, but when I would attempt to connect to a particular network I would get an error message saying connection was terminated. One of the networks I tried to connect to was my own home wireless network which successfully worked for all of my other laptops.
So far they are the first ones to jump on the Acer price drop bandwagon.UPDATE 8/20/08. Acer just (4 hrs ago) made the announcement on Market Watch that it will slash the prices for Acer Aspire One to $349 for Win XP and $329 for Linux. I miss my Acer One and will order one again as soon as retailers update their prices. I thought it was a great deal for $379 but for $50 less it's an absolute bargain.
This computer seems nice until, very quickly, the wifi stops working, for me on the second day. A surf around websites shos that many people have this problem, and have reported for several weeks at least, and for which ACER has yet to offer a solution or even recognize on its website. I'm going to return mine, and would advise anyone to avoid this machine until they fix a major problem. Unless you are happy not to have an internet connection.
I like Linux, but I'm finally comfortable saying it: "I am a Windows XP guy". Of course, now that XP is really good, MS is dropping it! It was a pain, but I made an XP install USB flash drive. There are a few ways to do this, but I bet a USB CD-ROM drive would be easier.Hassles: Most of the hardware is wonderful for the price, but not everything.
I decided to go back to the familiar XP configuration simply because I believe that learning Linux will involve too much effort to justify the cost. In addition, the Linux version of Acer Aspire One appears to have more wireless bugs than Windows. We'll see how the Win XP netbook performs.UPDATE 8/25/2008. So far I haven't seen any price reductions by online retailers. I think they are waiting to purge their inventory.
Acer Aspire One 8.9-inch Mini Laptop (1.6 GHz Intel Atom N270 Processor, 512 MB RAM, 8 GB Solid State Drive, Linpus Linux Lite) WhitePros: Sleek, great screen (bright, readable, wonderful resolution), reasonable, if not great, battery life; slip case and recovery disk included; light as a feather.Cons: Wireless radio did not work! Could only connect via wired Ethernet.
The Aspire One is very well made and worked flawlessly right out of the box. The small size and weight make this netbook a joy to carry. The keyboard takes a little time to get used to but I have no problems typing. The battery in my book is a 3 cell and will power the computer for approximately two and one half hours. Windows XP is loaded and I for one prefer this system over Vista. It starts fast and the wireless catches signal instantly.
The build quality is pretty good. The boards are nicely finished and wiring is well dressed. Acer has done a good job at efficient use of space and people that want to modify the hardware will have to be pretty creative to squeeze in additional components. The Windows version comes populated with 1G of memory. 512 megs is soldered on the top of the CPU board, and there is a socket for a standard SODIMM on the bottom side that has a 512 meg SODIMM installed.
Answer: Go into System Properties, Hardware, Device Manager. Then go into Network Adapters, right click Atheros Wireless Network Adapter and choose Properties. In properties go to the Advanced tab, click on Power Save Mode and turn it off! No more issues since I turned it off and it even reactivated my wifi! I have not tried/tested the Normal setting yet, but it may also work. Apparently the power save feature of the network card glitches out and you can disable that useless feature.
