Aspire 5517 not connecting WIFI

Question

Last few days been working on my laptop using wifi with no problems. Shut off computer last night but when I powered it up this morning it will not connect. I goto the bottom right of my screen, click the up arrow showing and see my wifi connection with a yellow triangle in it. I click the wifi options and see that my router there at full strength. It says I am connected when I click on it, I click disconnect then try to reconnect and it won't connect. Its an acer aspire 5517 using windows 7 home premium if that helps. I have tried to check and see if driver needs updating but it says everything is fine. ANY AND ALL suggestions would be great!! I can plug an ethernet cable in and it works fine. Also my cell and iPad connect no problem.  Also tried a system restore and it did not help.

Hello--  My husband installed windows 8 and since then we can not connect to internet.  Could someone please help me download and install a new driver?  Where is it on the web site and what are the steps for installation.  Thanks in advance.
