Didint help...

Revert back to this driver from here http://global-download.acer.com/GDFi...C=ACER&SC=PA_7
Use the same manual method to install the driver as needed

Well, there is something with my loptop wifi, because net is working perfect connceted via wire and I tried wifi at my friend`s home, where many loptops work fine and I had same problem

If the computer and your network seem to work fine when hard wired, and you wireless does not, and as you have stated above your wireless seems to have the same problem when used elsewhere, and changing the driver does not help the problem, then I would suspect a problem with a faulty or failing wireless adapter and or possibly with the associated antenna connections or the antenna itself.

Have you check the broadcasting channel? Interference from cordless phones and other radio devices can cause disruptions. Login to your router interface and set the channel to a higher value (11 is usually safe) or better yet, if supported, set your router to autoscan for the best channel. I believe the gatway for your router is 192.168.0.1
This is at least worth a try.

I got an error after pressing "next" :S it says: "Windows encountered a problem installing the driver software for your device" and " There is no driver selected for the device information set or element."

Go to the address "192.168.1.154" in your internet browser. There will be wireless settings there somewhere, navigate to there and there will be a channel selection list.

Youtube has some very good video tutorials. Here's one but it's in Espanol....but you get the jist of it.
