Acer Aspire V5 wifi connection drops & proximity issue

windows-10 acer-aspire wifi-driver

I found a solution on this thread on Acer Community Forum.

I opened up my laptop back cover, located the wireless card, and switched the main(white) & auxiliary(black) antenna wires on the network card.

Apparently there is a design fault on Acer Aspire V5 models that causes the hinge to damage the wire connecting to the primary antenna
