Acer Aspire V5-122P Broadcom 802.11n will not connect to the internet using Windows 10
I have been unable to connect to the internet connection using the Broadcom 802.11n since updating to Windows 10. I have installed the software multiple times. It simply does not work. Anyone else solve this issue? Thank you for any assistance.

This issue has been solved! I am happy to report that I solved the connection issue by watching a video on Youtube on how to disassemble the V5 122P and as soon as the back was off I immediately saw the problem. The connector to the Broadcom 802.11n WIFI card had popped off and was sitting there in space. I guess my unit wasn't made on a Wednesday!!

Thank you for the suggestion. It is not a Windows 10 issue however; it is an "Acer" issue related to the Broadcom 802.11n and the driver. Having just spent the last 72 hours tracking down the videocard issue fix for the slow and crashing system caused by the AMD Radeon HD 8210 driver problem I am pretty sure of what the issue is. But do not yet know how to fix it. I have purchased a Netgear Wireless 900 dual band USB adapter and have been using it to connect to the internet. The issue is directly related to the Broadcom 802.11n card and or driver.
