hello i have got an acer aspire 5536 laptop and i am using Zorin from the live dvd but i am only getting a low wifi signal,does anyone please know of a way to increase the wifi signal so i can use Zorin as my main os?
i am currently having to use windows 7 so i can update the drivers through device manager.
the acer has Qualcom Atheros AR9271 chip built in ath9k_htc driver
