Nathanael Gray, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. As per http://us.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/drivers an update to your BIOS is available (2.09). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BiosUpdate does it change anything? If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command: sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date
Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette . Thank you for your understanding. ** Tags added: bios-outdated-2.09 ** Description changed: - Presumably a duplicate of - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1305305 - - Similar symptoms - wifi keeps disconnecting when at a distance from the - router (lower signal strength) but stays connected fine when close to - the router.
