Hi, I've been having this problem for a
while, my wifi speed keeps fluctuating from
54Mbps to 1Mbps. I tried sitting in different
locations at home and surf different we pages, its all
the same.
My ADSL Router is Belkin N (with 3
antenna's),it also supports b/g, my laptop
uses a b/g network. I also changed the adsl
connection from "n" to "b/g" to match my
laptop but with no success.
My Wireless Network Connection always shows:
Status: Connected (even when it drops to
1Mbps)
Signal Strength: Excellent (no matter what the speed is)
Speed: (that's where I have the problem)
I have noticed that most of the time the
speed remains at 24Mbps, but still can't surf
the net..
Thanks in advance.

Had the same issue with a dell laptop. It needed a patch for the wireless interface.

Contact Acer or browse their web site.
