how can I turn the wireless capability back on with my Windows 10 Acer tablet?

Fangorn · Jan 24, 2016

Greetings,

I have a Windows 10 Acer tablet. Just this morning, the internet permanently went out; just as it did with the other three Acer computers I had to return. I assume the driver went bad. Either that, or the wireless capability somehow turned off again. Pressing Fn combinations and attempting to install drivers online(as suggested) has not done me good. I am on the verge of losing very valuable information, and I will never get another Acer product again. I plan on returning the broken pc and getting a another from a better brand like ASUS, but I cannot upload my doomed information to the internet; and neither can I put it on flash drive.
I am in great need to get my internet working. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Click the Notifications icon bottom right in the tray and check whether your wifi is turned on there. It should be coloured in indicating that it is on.
It it is on then perhaps yes, a driver or hardware problem is the cause.

Thank you for your time!

I do not see anything relating to wifi when I click on notifications. I see battery saver, bluetooth, location, etc. but I do not see anything that could help me with my connection. Is there anything I could do to change this?

Oh dear.
If you have installed drivers as you mentioned, then I would suggest that you have hardware failure and would need a new wifi card for your tablet.
Since that could be challenging or even costly to replace, I would suggest using an OTG pendrive to retrieve the data from that device or a micro-sub to usb adapter that you can plug a normal sized pen drive into.
