This article will talk about searching, downloading and installing Wi-Fi drivers adapter and network card on Acer laptops. After installation, or Windows reinstallation on an Acer laptop, or if there are any problems with the wireless network, you may need a Wi-Fi (WLAN) driver. Without it, for example, wireless network It may not work at all on a laptop. Especially if you are installing Windows 7 or 8. Windows 10, as a rule, installs drivers itself, but not always.
Using these instructions, you can download and install not only the Wi-Fi driver for your Acer laptop, but also other drivers: for a network card (LAN), video card, touchpad, etc. As practice shows, when it doesn’t work on a laptop Wi-Fi, everyone immediately starts looking for drivers on the Internet and downloading them from some strange sites. And then they complain that something doesn’t work there, doesn’t fit, doesn’t install, etc. Why do this? After all, you have a laptop from a certain manufacturer, in our case it is Acer. Laptop specific model. And on the manufacturer’s website you can download all the drivers for your laptop. Which are created specifically for him, and are 100% working. I wrote about this in an article.
If Wi-Fi does not work on your Acer laptop, then the first thing you need to do is check whether it is turned on, what is in the drivers in the device manager, etc. If you are not sure that the problem is in the drivers, then I advise you to first look at these articles:
If nothing works, or there is no Wireless WLAN adapter in the device manager, then follow the instructions. It is suitable for all laptops from this manufacturer, including: Acer Aspire V3, Aspire One D270, E5-511G, D257, ES1-533-C3RY, EX2519, E5-573G, F5-573G, Acer Swift.
Where can I download a Wi-Fi driver for an Acer laptop?
As I already wrote above, we will download the drivers from the official website. Everything is there.
Your laptop may have come with a disc. In this case, you can most likely install the necessary drivers from the disk. Open it and take a look.
If there is no disk, then go to the official website using the link: https://www.acer.com/ac/ru/RU/content/drivers
- In the search field, enter the model of your Acer laptop, serial number, or SNID. This information can be found on the bottom of the laptop, on a sticker.
- Or select a device. First select a category (laptops, ultrabooks, tablets, etc.) I chose "Laptop". Next we select a series. I chose "Aspire" as an example. And in the third drop-down menu, select your laptop model. For example, E5-575G-35M (without the last numbers and the letter "35M").
The download page for your Acer laptop model will immediately open. There will be drivers, programs, manuals. First select your operating system. In my case, the drivers are only for Windows 10 64-bit. If you installed another Windows version, for which there are no drivers on the official website, you will have to struggle with the search. Or install the system for which there are drivers on the manufacturer’s website.
After selecting the operating system, expand the "Driver" tab.
Looking in the list required driver. The one on Wi-Fi will most likely be called Wireless LAN Driver. For a network card - LAN Driver. To download it, simply click on the "Download" link.
Save the archive to your computer (or at mobile device, and then download it to your computer).
What should I do if there are several Wireless LAN drivers on the site?
This happens quite often. This is because the manufacturer can install different Wi-Fi modules into the same laptop model. Various manufacturers. Pay attention to the screenshot above. There are two drivers, but different manufacturers, Intel and Atheros. Maybe Broadcom too. You probably have a question about which driver to download for your Eiser.
Everything is very simple. If there is no Wireless adapter in the Device Manager, on the “Network Adapters” tab, to see its name (manufacturer), you need to download the HWVendorDetection utility. You can download it from the link. We just download and run it on the laptop for which we are looking for a driver. The result will be something like this:
As you can see in the screenshot, Wireless LAN is Atheros. So we download the driver for the adapter from this manufacturer.
How to install Wi-Fi (LAN) driver on Acer laptop?
The driver installation process is very simple. Open the archive downloaded from the Acer website, find the Setup.exe file in it and run it.
After installation, reboot the laptop and try to connect it to Wi-Fi networks. Everything should work. If you have a question about how to connect an Acer laptop to Wi-Fi, then there is no difference from other laptops and PCs. Instructions for connecting in Windows 7 are at the beginning of the article. If you have Windows 10, then see the article.
