Which AC adapter do you have? I'm not sure if Win 10 has it but type Administrative tools in Windows search.
Go down to Systen Information/Components/Adapter and scroll until you find the Wifi adapter.

There's your problem.
Atheros AR5BWB222 is a dual band that supports a/g/n, but not AC.

this the lap top I have i guess the Built-in 802.11ac WiFi featuring MU-MIMO technology allows you to seamlessly connect to your wireless home network or any WiFi hotspot, and makes online gaming and streaming video faster and more reliable and Integrated Wi-Fi
802.11b/g/n/ac statements in the web site are not true and I got not what I paid for even after acer support told me it would work with the new driver.Thanks for the help0 -
