HI

After installing fresh copy of w7 on Acer Aspire e5-571, wifi not working.
I tried installing drivers from acer page, but didnt know which one to install... so i intalled all of them. All other features worked fine, bet wifi driver was not instaled and wifi card was not found...

I tried many hours to find answer on web but no luck, so i thought that i need new windows, i instaled windows 8, but problem is not resoved.

Now i run W8 and i have no idea what to search or do,

please help

You can use your serial number to find the correct drivers on the Acer support site HERE.

Then select the correct OS, which must be 64 bit, from 7 or 8.1, and download the driver for your wireless -- of the three choices (Atheros, Broadcom, or Intel). Installing all of them is not a good idea.
