Drivers from acer website

Hi!
I want to ask this even though I am well aware of how easy this seems to be, but unfortunately I was not able to find reliable answers. I reinstalled Windows 10 Home on Acer Nitro AN515-54 and when I finished there is only wired conection available, I know this must be hardware driver problem. I did not instal not even 1 driver yet. I downloaded drivers for my specific model from acer website and transfered them to the laptop with USP stick, but not sure how to install them correctly. I tried to install Intel Wlan Driver specified for this laptop but did not succeed. I would really use your help!

I solved problem by connecting to wired internet and windows ran some updates automaticly. looks like the reason that prevented me from installing acer-provided driver was that windows automaticly installed already updated version of it (intel wifi card). thanks for attention!

Hi, Either run install.cmd after unpacking the archive, or if it doesn`t install go to device manager find the wifi adapter and click on update driver and point the dir with the unpacked archve.

I tried now, "install" did not help neither did the second way. it said that latest drivers are already installed. but I can not get wifi there is not an option to choose wifi over wired internet.

batmalin

Did you have enable it with Fn + F3?

Olysar

batmalin

What happen when you pull out the cable? Can you show me a picture of the adapter in the device manager?

Did you click on browse and pointed out the unpacked archive?

sorry what you mean pull out a cable? there is no cable connected. it just says there is no internet connected (no wifi mark anyways it says on a globe sigh)...

batmalin

I thought you have connected it wired. Have you done the step 2 posts above?

Olysar

I tried but there was no driver to update... only WAN miniports and Realtek PCIe GbE Family Controller

batmalin

Click on find new hardware or on show hidden devices

Olysar

Did... nothing new was found under network devices

batmalin

Are there any devices with "!" or "?" ?

batmalin

If not then open device manager press Fn+F3 then find new devices if no new devices repeat the same procedure again.

did absolutely nothing

batmalin

But you do have unknown devices right? Is you bluetooth working? Could you post a screenshot of the device manager?
