    This is now the common erors coming out from Acer. I have the same issue with my Acer E5-473G, after installing a licensed Win7 Pro. For no reason the WLAN thinks its in airplane mode. Drivers are recognized, Adapter has been enabled but it says I need to enable wifi capability and the only way to do it is to have Fn+F3 activated, which is not not functining.

     

    Have you tried your windowns mobility? Winbutoon + X ?
