Desktops & All-In-Ones

After having upgraded my RL70 to Windows 8.1 it has lost it's wireless capabilities. Neither of the two wireless devices will pick-up a signal. 

The WLAN (wireless chip) on this machine is a Realtek RTL8192DE-VC.

They install OK and show as enabled in Devive Manager, but show as not connected in Windows settings (no network discovery/signal).

The Windows 8.1 upgrade will install "Microsoft" drivers which don't seem to work.  And the drivers I tried off the ACER download pages will not install on Windows 8.1.

The wired adapter works fine, but I would really like to get the wireless side working properly.

Any help out there?

Go to Change PC Settings-> Networks-> check if the WiFi is enabled or not. The WiFi option should have a green mark on it.

In Windows 8.1 NETWORK settings mine simply shows WiFi as "Not Connected".  Other than for "Properties" I cannot drill down any further to find any thing that allows me to connect.

I'm sure this must be driver thing. 

Does anyone out there have a RL70 running WiFi on Windows 8.1?  If so, what drivers are you using?

I sometimes have this problem too, try shutting off and removing the power, then start the computer again. If anyone has a better solution, i'd be interested to hear it too.
