WiFi/Wireless Drivers (32-bit, 64-bit)

Acer produces their model with variation of WiFi cards and the reason could be base on region or other factors. Acer Notebook commonly uses Intel, Atheros or Broadcom WiFi card. In certain cases they use Ralink and several current model (2018 and above) uses Realtek. Atheros also known as Qualcomm Atheros and Ralink also known as Mediatek.

Identify the correct WiFi/Wireless Drivers.

First you need to identify which WiFi drivers you need to install.

Open device manager (right click on windows icon and select device manager).

Click on Network Adapter to expand the list.

You should see the wireless vendor name displayed on the list.

If it only shows network controller with exclamation mark or 802.11n Wireless card. Then,

Right click on the network controller and select properties.

Click on Details Tab on the top panel.

On the drop down menu select Hardware ID.

Copy and paste the hardware ID on Google search you will find most of the result will display the same Wireless vendor. Check out my post on how to check hardware ID.
