******* USE AT YOUR OWN RISK *******
* Download Wireless LAN_Atheros_10.0.0.75_W8x64_A.zip from Acer Support / Download Drivers Page. (Newer versions would work too, this one worked for me)
* Completely remove/uninstall any Atheros driver and installed application.
* Unzip downloaded driver file and don't use install_cd folder.
* Manually install driver from ndis6xWin8 folder in zip file.
* Install bluetooth driver from windows udpate and not from acer site.
* From Device Manager - Driver of device - Power Management Tab, uncheck Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power box.
* Disable all power management functions for that device.
