I have been trying to get Ethernet working on this hunk of junk for quite a while and nothing is working, ethernet doesn't show up anywhere near the settings and there is like no drivers for ethernet on windows 10, only windows 7, at least accoriding to https://www.acer.com/ac/en/GB/content/support-product/3474?b=1 . So now I'm wondering, if i want ethernet support is the only way to get it to downgrade my os? Because i do not want to do that, and would like to avoid it if i can. Wifi works fine, but i'd rather Ethernet as it is faster. I can provide more information if you would like.

    Acer doesn't provide window 10 driver for your model.
    Download and run driverpack solution it will automatically update all your driver.
    (Before download disable your antivirus and while installing DRIVERs this app may download 1-2software like avg antivirus,360security you can uninstall these software after driver installation)

    I have read reviews of Driverpack solution and most of them say that it is not very safe, is there an alternative i could use or is this the only way to get ethernet drivers?

    Open device manager then click on your desktop name→views→show hidden devices 
    Now take screenshot of that and post here 
    After that expand network adapters then take and post screenshot of that screen

    1)open device manager→click on desktop name→views→show hidden devices→action scan for hardware changes then check if something new appears like unknown devices or something in network adapters

    2)Run window update

    Nothing has happened/changed. I think i need to download drivers or something for ethernet, no unknown devices and the update didn't do anything in regards to ethernet.

    Run window update and update your window 
    If window update doesn't work then use driverpack solution

    Yes, you can uninstall 
    Now, Download window 7 Ethernet driver from official site then run on window 10 in compatibility mode window 7.
    To do that→
    Right click on that Ethernet driver .exe file→properties→compatibility tab→tick mark "the run this problem in compatibility mode"→by default it may be window 8 change it to Window 7 then apply and ok

    Now run setup

    No there are no roblems with any drivers in device manager, just there is the missing Ethernet driver.

    @GAMING6698
    Uhm... that did not do anything surprisingly... any other suggestions?
  • I would check updating with the driverbooster would solve the problem.

    Driverbooster updated the drivers that were already installed on my laptop, but it didn't detect that i'm missing drivers, which is the problem. Driverbooster didn't work.
