Wifi Connection Issues

Hi, I just have an Acer laptop that I installed Windows 8 on. My wifi connection keeps dropping around every 5-30 minutes and goes to "Limited Connectivity". I can keep a stable internet connection through a ethernet cable. I first thought that the reason for my connection issues was other wifi sources causing interference but I've tried using my laptop in various different locations where my friends laptops work. Also my friend's laptop works fine in my home. I'll paste an ipconfig /all because from others posts, people are asking for it. I've also downloaded the latest driver from the Acer support page.
Thank you!
