    hi all,

    as the title says, that's my problem. after running probably 4/5 mins, at the bottom where u can find the s/n and Microsoft Win 7 product key gets hot and i loose the network connection, list of all the wireless access point.

    the 'Control Panel-> Network and Internet -> Network Map' window says 'The adapter is not connected'. The wireless led is on, and i already updated the wireless adapter from acer support website, didn't help.

    can anyone help me in this case?

    ps: i searched the forum and couldn't find this specific issue (becomes hot) being discussed. i apologize if this is already being discussed.

    I have a simular problem, My AcerOne drops the wireless connection after a few minutes. It worked fine when I had WAP2 security, but it does not like WEP. I changed because the iPad did not like WAP2.

    Atheros AR5007EG wireless network adapter in WinXP
    I've checked the Atheros drivers, currently have version 7.7.0.406 dated 9/30/2009 installed. That seems to be the newest although ver 7.6.0.244 is still listed for download on the ACER web site.

    Any ideas?
