Wireless Adapter Driver Issues
Hi I have a Aspire E1-571-6680 On windows 7 64bit. I have tried every wireless LAN driver from the Acer website for drivers.
( http://www.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/drivers )
None of them work. They say they have been installed, but when I go to find a network all I see is the symboll for broadband wire connection. Please help.

Go to System Information/Components/Network/Adapter and see if it's there, that the laptop sees it.
Uninstall the old driver in Control Panel/ Programs and Features.
It should be an Atheros HB125. Try this driver,

the name of the adapter is [000000000] WAN Miniport (SSTP). That is in system info/network/adapter

The wan miniport is not your wifi card. You should find something called Atheros.Scroll the list.

If it is installed and in working condition, it should show up in that list. You may have a bad Wifi card.
