Okay, this will be a lengthy post, but I'm going to try and get you thorough this :D

First go to your start screen and type "Network and Sharing Center" then click on the settings option on the right. You will see the result in the left view, click on it.

You will see the name of your network, and you will see "Access type", "HomeGroup", and "Connections" please click on your network name, beside Connections. Please click on "Diagnose" at the bottom, what does it say? Also provide me with the make and model of the notebook.

I've done what you told me to do and it says "problem with wireless adapter or access point". I'm using Acer V5 Touch. Hope you'll reply this message as soon as possible.
By the way,
thanks.

Okay you can tell what kind of card you have by 1 or 2 ways... First way is looking on the bottom of the notebook it will have a sticker somewhere (maybe under the battery and sometimes inside the HD and memory bays) saying "This model contains raido ___________". The second way is just trying each one until it works :D

And just for you CD:

First off I assume you meant the V5-571PG not 571GP (cause there is no such thing according to Acer)

And this is the driver you want to instal:

Atheros chip http://global-download.acer.com/GDFiles/Driver/Wireless%20LAN/Wireless%20LAN_Atheros_10.0.0.225_W8x64_A.zip?acerid=634991898775034332&Step1=ULTRA-THIN&Step2=ASPIRE&Step3=ASPIRE V5-571PG&OS=ALL&LC=en&BC=ACER&SC=PA_6

Broadcom chip http://global-download.acer.com/GDFiles/Driver/Wireless%20LAN/Wireless%20LAN_Broadcom_6.30.59.20_W8x64_A.zip?acerid=634841384791622999&Step1=ULTRA-THIN&Step2=ASPIRE&Step3=ASPIRE V5-571PG&OS=ALL&LC=en&BC=ACER&SC=PA_6

Hello All, I have an Acer v5-471p-6467 touchscreen laptop with the atheros ar5bwb222. When I use my mother's internet connection, it has limited (she has an older belkin router. I just purchased a newer netgear for myself and it works just fine. I have tried to uninstall the included driver and install another. However, I always get the message that the driver I have is more current and the operation aborts. I am highly frustrated!

First off download these (save them do not run them)

Atheros: http://global-download.acer.com/GDFiles/Driver/Wireless%20LAN/Wireless%20LAN_Atheros_10.0.0.225_W8x64_A.zip?acerid=634991898775034332&Step1=ULTRA-THIN&Step2=ASPIRE&Step3=ASPIRE V5-471P&OS=ALL&LC=en&BC=ACER&SC=PA_4
Broadcom: http://global-download.acer.com/GDFiles/Driver/Wireless%20LAN/Wireless%20LAN_Broadcom_6.30.59.20_W8x64_A.zip?acerid=634883879684527449&Step1=ULTRA-THIN&Step2=ASPIRE&Step3=ASPIRE V5-471P&OS=ALL&LC=en&BC=ACER&SC=PA_4

Then go to your add/remove programs list (open your charms on the desktop and select settings then select control pannel) and remove your current driver. Restart your machine. Then install the correct driver listed above. (you MUST first uninstall your current driver before installing your new driver which during this time you will not be able to access the internet)

When installing the new driver from the .zip file please be sure to UNZIP first, then just run the setup.exe file from the unziped folder.

What OS, and what device do you need a driver for?
