I don't know how else to explain it. 

Also, if anyone else knows how to boot from USB from the boot manager (pressing f12 on the acer screen) that would be helpful. Thanks!

  Have you tried FN + F3?

   

   

  "Same happened to me, simply resolved with:

  rfkill unblock all

  rfkill list all showed some devices on soft block."
