Only connects to nearby access points or hotspots. Status in bcmwl package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: My laptop is Acer E5-551G-T0KC. Wi-Fi is very unreliable. It disconnects frequently from eduroam* at university. Sometimes, it can't even establish a connection to eduroam. It can't connect to my home Wi-Fi, whereas my old laptop (another open source driver) and my phone connect fine. I can connect reliably to my mobile phone hotspot, which is nearby the laptop. Windows 8.1 connects fine.
