Hello all,

My friend asked me to do a clean installation of windows 7. I did that, after it I downloaded all required drivers.
However, I've ran into a problem. I have little knowladge about wifi and laptops.
When I tried to turn on wifi with the button on keyboard, its light doesn't turn on. I can't seem to find a way to turn the wifi on. I think I got the right drivers, but to be sure, what kind of drivers do I need for wifi to work? Else, do I need to enable wifi in some other way at first?

laptop : acer extensa 5635ZG

Thanks in advance.

I fixed it now. For those who may have similair problem :

Connect your smartphone to your computer and use phone as a modem to connect to the internet. After this, just go to windows update, optional updates and install whatever may be about wireless connection and so on.

The problem is that I've only got the laptop. No cds. I downloaded all drivers from acer website on my computer and transferred it to laptop with the help of external storage.
