Acer aspire e 17 e5-722g-83dd wifi adapter missing

batkinson001

I have had my acer aspire e17 e5-722g-83dd for a year and a half and am past the manufacturer's warranty but am still in my best buy extended warranty.

4 days ago I reset my laptop back to factory as it was running slow. The wireless worked fine as usual until this morning when I turned it on and there was no wireless adapter...

I installed the wifi adapter drivers I had in a folder on my external drive on the laptop and it didn't fix the problem, device manager doesn't even detect any unknown devices.

I reset the laptop again back to factory and it still doesn't work.

Any ideas on what I can do next?

Would this issue even be covered under the bestbuy extended warranty?

Hi

 

Apologies but this is stating the obvious and I am sure you have tried...

BIOS or Function key to/from Airplane mode?

 

The part about it being slow, is that WiFi or the whole machine crawling along?

 

CCleaner is good to speed up a slow machine by removing lots of dross, and Defraggler left running overnight can also help.
