Wifi problem with Acer Aspire V5 572 (non touchscreen)
Hi there! I saw other posts regarding wifi issues, but not regarding my laptop model (ACER ASPIRE V5 572). The issue is that wifi simply won't connect to my laptop unless I use a cord to connect the model & my laptop. I've confirmed that it's not an issue with my internet as my phone connects to my wifi, so it's just a problem with my laptop. I've tested it in other locations besides my home, and once again, it won't connect.
So, my questions
1) Why is that happening?
2) Can I fix it by myself? If so, HOW?
Any help would be much appreciated!

I have done exactly what you suggested, but my internet without the cord still doesn't work. Here is what I've installed:
