Driver – increased speed for WiFi for the Acer Aspire One Windows XP
Filed Under (Drivers) by KiNG on 19-10-2008

atheros (brand of the WiFi card used in the aspire one) has released a new wireless driver.
Its on the sites download page now :)
It does seem to run online streaming videos a little better with this new driver.

*note this driver was orginally found by running an automatic windows update through Windows XP, its not on the Acer website yet.

I just updated my driver and everything is much faster. Here are the before and after numbers (all the tests were done on Speedtest.net)

HP Laptop:
6720/426 kbps

Acer before update:
111/72 kbps

Acer after update:
6788/422 kbps

I didn’t follow the links in the above comments. I just updated the driver through the Device Manager. The driver is 7.6.0.260.

Hope everyone else sees these improvements.
