Qualcomm Atheros QCA61x4A problem
Good afternoon tenforums.
I bought a new laptop this month, which has the Qualcomm wifi card inside. Sometimes it works for a long period of time and others it will not last 5 minutes. The wifi essentially drops and turns to limited connectivity and requires a troubleshoot to fix. The same error appears everytime which is 'The default gateway is not available - Fixed'.
On top of it dropping frequently it also sometimes has extremely slow speeds, downloading at 10kb per second - as opposed to on my poor old laptop where I would get 1.5 - 2.8 mb. These problems are only applicable to this laptop and no other device with wifi experiences this.
I have tried the normal default gateway fixes found on the internet. I have installed numerous drivers and none have so far worked. I have also posted on acer forums (my laptop model) and nobody there has been able to successfully help yet.
Does anybody here have any ideas/heard of this happening before?
The laptop advertised ultra-fast wifi speed and I've got the exact opposite.
Thanks you all
