Hi, I want to use WiDi functionality on my intel HD Graphics 3000 processor z570 laptop, WiDi application requires the intel wireless network adapter. But my laptop got atheros AR9286 wireless Network Adapter. So is it possible to replace Atheros Wireless Network adapter with intell wireless network adapter.
I wonder if there are any ways of successfully running WiDi functioanality on my laptop. I'm raising this query because i want to share my laptop screen on my LG Smart TV which supports WiDi screenshare functionality. I did go through this link plz reply ASAP. Thanks in advance.

Refer to the hardware maintenance manual partslist portion to see the allowable replacement of the wifi card. Takenote that you can't just replace the card with the same model number without complying with the indicated fru number.
Doing so, will result to a error message at startup. This restriction is popularly called as the whitelist. An alternative to the desired wireless communication between your TV and your unit is to have ChromeCast. You might want to explore this since this is easier compared to the replacement of the wifi card.
Yes, that seems to have fixed the issue for my desktop All-in-One Aspire 5600U. The setting in Windows 8 is: Control PanelHardware and SoundDevice ManagerNetwork Adapters. Then choose Qualcomm Atheros AR5BWB222 Wireless Adapter and Uncheck the box labelled 'Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power.' I have tested that setting for the past few days and have not gone offline once. It's a shame that a lot of unnecessary fixes are being offered, that don't solve the problem, and that Acer support does not advise customers to do that, before they try something more drastic. If I had followed their instructions, I would have ended up paying to ship it to Acer for repair, and who knows what I would have gotten back, since their technical support doesn't seem to be aware of this! Turning in a brand-new computer for someone else's reconditioned computer is never going to be a good solution, to me.
Nor is having to pay for shipping to fix a computer that should work, out of the box. Very disappointed in Acer support. I doubt that I would buy my next computer from them, now that I know about the quality of their technical support and customer service.
This solution seems to work fine for a desktop, but not so well for a portable computer. So much for efficient energy management! Thanks for the suggestion, at long last something that worked! Yep, the suggested fixes are no fixes. I also contacted Qualcomm's Atheros Division, and they replied that it is Acer's responsibility to provide the necessary drivers-they can't help, they just sell the components to the OEM's, who modify them to work with their products. Another dead end. That's a shame that the WNA is in your laptop, at least with my AIO, not being portable, I can direct-connect to my router.
I have had success tethering my tablet to my cell phone's internet connection, using a bluetooth connection. That's how I get online when traveling by car, when I want to read and am riding shotgun. Maybe that approach would work for getting a reliable connection on the latop, although I know that some CP providers block tethering, and the connection is rather slow on my 4G LTE Droid.
So far the best solution I've seen is buying an external WNA (USB Dongle). I don't know what the speed or quality of that connection would be, never having used one. I'd look for a USB 2.0-3.0 model, hopefully with dual 2.4 & 5.0 bands. I feel your pain! Your experiences with trying to work it out have saved me from jumping through hoops that didn't need to be jumped through, only to return to the same place you started. As an Senior Analyst, I learned over the years, working with various I.T.
Staff, how to spot a 'solution', and keep asking for 'another/better choice.' Acer can lick this, they just need more motivation:-).

Thanks for the suggestion, at long last something that worked! Padgett, Thank you, thank you, thank you. I just got a new (refurbished) Acer laptop. Had issues with it playing and downloading videos. Buffering didn't seem to work, and downloading the file kept failing. I found this link and unchecking the power saving box in the network adapter property box (and rebooting) did the trick. I didn't contact Acer support.
It seems they need to add this solution to their knowledgebase. Better yet, they should amend their Windows installation script.
They can save a lot of returns and have happier customers. If any should need a real Acer driver for the WIFI card, here ya go. Another option is to get rid of the Athreos and go with either an Intel 5300 card or 4695 WIFI card. Drivers are avail and I have both if any should decide to go this route. I run the 5300 in my 7520 and the 4695 in my 5315. I t just depends if you have the long card or mini card. Now this suggestion is for W7 OS.
I don't know if W8 will affect the drivers for the intel cards as I don't run W8, but may try these drivers on another lappy I'm working on and will load W8 just to see what works and what doesn't regarding aftermarket drivers and cards. Aspire V5-431P with Atheros AR5BWB222 I did a complete refresh and re-install with upgrade to Windows 8.1. Followed this by disabling the BT and uninstalling WLAN driver. Then upgraded to the latest.263 driver for the WLAN. Disabled the auto power off setting. The good news is that it seems to have eliminated the internet dropping issue, the bad news is that it is only when I am sitting within 10 feet of the router. If I go upstairs the network connetion remains strong but alas the internet is dropped.
I am now officiallly stumped. Anyone got any suggestions? By the way this problem did not occur while running 8.0 and had progressively gotten worse over time after upgrading to 8.1 to the point where wireless connetion to the internet was useless. Nothing wrong with the router, it works perfectly with all my other devices. Yep, this is definitely a firmware issue with Acer's implementation of the Qualcomm Atheros WNA.
It has shown up in every model that Acer uses it in, from laptops to All-in-Ones, regardless of the OS that computer is running. Qualcomm has already told me that it's not their hardware, but the Acer firmare implementation. The only ways to get around the problem are (1) to direct-connect with a network cable to your router, or (2) buy an add-on WNA and disable (or replace, if buying an internal WNA card) the Atheros WNA.
Doesn't matter what your router is, you will have problems maintaining the connection. I have an ASUS Dark Knight, which is just about the best, strongest, most capable, feature-rich router out there right now, and it can't maintain a wireless connection to the ASUS for more that 5 minutes without a reset, regardless of how I change the WNA settings, including the auto power-off option.
Thank you very much to those who have offered solutions; I've had the same issues and have duly unticked the box and crossed my fingers. My work is almost purely internet based and at times it's absolutely critical that I don't drop connection. I've had my laptop and fibre-optic broadband since July and have experienced this periodically, but it's now reached ridiculous levels of disconnnection since I upgraded to Windows 8.1. I switch browsers regularly - I usually use Opera or Firefox. I decided to buy an Acer laptop as my Acer desktop, running XP and now 6 years old has been generally reliable. I had similar problems with my old Sony VAIO netbook after installing fibre-optic broadband, but discovered that if I avoided using Chrome, all was usually well. As I work from home and have more than one laptop, if all else fails I shall hook my laptop up directly to the router.
Hello, I feel you that you bought an acer pc with these network drivers. I'm so regretful that I bought this piece of. with internet that can't even function normally. Basically, nothing helps it's a huge problem of acer thta they didn't take care of. The only solution is to buy an USB wireless adapter or just change your network adapters because neither wired network works neither wireless. Everything about networking in acer pcs with these drivers is.
up. You will just waste your time with these solutions because you will find other stuff not working for you. These drivers are good for just browsing, but I have issues with Steam and other software which uses internet connection. As soon as I started using USB wireless adapter, EVERYTHING works like it should on a.
new laptop for 1500$. Hi everyone, I tried everything like you have done as well. I even let Acer sent my two new PCI WIFI cards for my two Aspire Laptops V3 772G, unfortunatly all for nothing. I noticed that nothing in the browser worked, and the wifi conintued to reconnect. I highly recommend idealshare vi any great ogv converter for mac.
But Skype for example worked well, we took this all into consideration with a friend of mine and he came with a solution. The proper solotion for you all. Set your computer to use the 'google proxy server' From there on your internet connection will be restored forever.
Kind regards, Maikel.

Someone help me out. This onboard wifi adapter is accepting frequency at 2.5 ghz. There's a PCI express version of this one as well. I'm in a corner of our house and my wifi cuts out on rare occasion. I was looking at the driver details, above update driver in device manager. Yes, Banhien You are right. Actually I used to face the same issue but later on I could able to fix it.
Thanks for this much of good knowledge you provided here. I checked the website you mentioned above. One more thing I also checked. Again this guy also providing great knowledge. I found it really helpful and very informative. It's been over 2 months now after upgraded my wireless adapter.
Finall I am happy that i have no issue with this wifi adapter I chose. Thank you so much for your solution.
Code: Manufacturer: HP OS: Windows 7 (SP1 wont update) WiFi Adapter: Atheros AR9285 802.11b/g/n WiFi Adapter Driver Date: 2/22/2011 Driver Version: 9.2.0.310A couple of days ago I posted a BSOD report in the appropriate section and was told it was my WiFi adapter so I uninstalled and reinstalled it. (The driver was automatically reinstalled by windows update, but I also have a copy of the driver from HP which I installed afterwards.) (One thing to note is that the date of the driver from before I uninstalled it, is different than the date of the current driver I have installed, even though before uninstalling I tried to update it and windows said everything was up to date. Sadly I don't remember the version number of the previous driver but I know it started with a nine.) Now though, I can no longer connect to any network wirelessly. When I 'diagnose the adapter' I get the following message(I underlined the part that seemed important).

Okay, sorry I thought I said in my original post: The drivers are from HP's website here: by the way I'm not certain of the laptop's full product name because the sticker was peeled off on the bottom and the HP program on my computer that's supposed to tell me crashes every time I open it. I used to find out but it doesn't really give a conclusive answer. In any case I'm 99.99999% certain that my drivers are up-to-date and that they're the right drivers, because Windows says they are. Thanks, anything else you can think of would be much appreciated. UPDATE: So I tried using the HP Support Assistant (that's the HP program on my computer that supposed to tell me my model number) again and was mucking around in there when I came to 'Troubleshoot Network and Internet Connectivity' all it did was examine my network options (I think) but it discovered the wireless signals in the area and when I went to Internet connection tool in the taskbar I had the option to connect to networks. So SOLVED I guess.
