Problem with home wireless connection on Acer Aspire V3-771

Hello, I`ve got Acer Aspire V3-771 as you see. I`ve got a massive problem because i get connection lost many times in a few minutes. It shows that I`m connected, but I cant access internet and after several losts I get limited access. What can I do about it? My wireless network adapter is Atheros AR5BWB222 by the way. Hope, you can help me

It may be a problem with your local wireless connection to your router or it may be a problem with your router's connection to your service provider. Can you first check out out the parameters for your local connection and post them here. You can list it by running a command prompt and entering the following command:

ipconfig /all >desktop/ipconf.txt

This will create a text file called ipconf.txt on your desktop which you can the post here.

ok, here is my ip config:

Try updating your network adapter....last update I see is 4/23/12....what's the date on your currnent driver.

Nothing obviously wrong on your ipconfig but I see you have IPv6 configured on your wireless adapter. This is not currently in use and has been known to cause problems so I'd disable it.
