Believe it or not, what fixed my problem is downloading another Acer laptop's model's wireless driver from Acer. I have a second Acer laptop (different model than mine). I noticed it's using the same AR5007EG Atheros wireless adapter as mine but with a different year and driver version number. And it was having no problem surfing. So I downloaded that model's driver from Acer and used it on mine (after uninstalling my adapter completely) and now I can surf. What's funny is that I tried downloading MY acer's wireless driver from Acer and it didn't work. It was the same version I had before. FRUSTRATING on Acer's part!! who would've thought you had to dig the idea up of downloading another laptop's model's wireless driver??? But anyway that's what did it for me. Good luck.
Updating the driver is the fix.. I have tried with mine, I thought it was a router problem (wireless N netgear router). the issue is the wireless adapter on the computer needs to be updated to comply to the router standard.
I too had this issue as well (same laptop as you). I am not sure how I fixed my issue though. Steps I tried without success were to disable and re-enable adapter via kill switch and function keys, uninstall/reinstall driver, reinstall windows xp. None of those seemed to work.
Then I went digging through drivers and found that the driver my laptop originally used was not the same version being offered by acer (the one acer was pointing me to was a newer one). I found the old one floating around on the internet, did a uninstall of the driver and installed the new (old) one. I seem to be able to connect now which is nice, but I run into the disconnects every couple of minutes issue stated by others. still working on that issue but atleast I get connected... ::shrugs ::

Yes. to confirm what Wazzy said. Just delete and reinstall the driver with a working driver. Works for me now.

Dear Sir,
Verify if the Wireless Connection is secured,
If yes, just enter the WEP key to the wireless settings
Thanks
