Acer WiFi/Wireless LAN Drivers for Windows 7/8/8.1/10 (32-bit, 64-bit)

WiFi/Wireless Drivers (32-bit, 64-bit)

Acer produces their model with variation of WiFi cards and the reason could be base on region or other factors. Acer Notebook commonly uses Intel, Atheros or Broadcom WiFi card. In certain cases they use Ralink and several current model (2018 and above) uses Realtek. Atheros also known as Qualcomm Atheros and Ralink also known as Mediatek.


Identify the correct WiFi/Wireless Drivers.

First you need to identify which WiFi drivers you need to install. 
Open device manager (right click on windows icon and select device manager).
Click on Network Adapter to expand the list.
You should see the wireless vendor name displayed on the list.

If it only shows network controller with exclamation mark or 802.11n Wireless card. Then,

Right click on the network controller and select properties.
Click on Details Tab on the top panel.
On the drop down menu select Hardware ID.

Copy and paste the hardware ID on Google search you will find most of the result will display the same Wireless vendor. Check out my post on how to check hardware ID.

    1. It is a secondary network connection, and it is a virtual network which means it does not affect you main wireless connection. It commonly use to connect with second network such as ad-hoc connection. If you does not use it you can right click on it and select disable. If you want to install it, right lcik on it and select uninstall, restart and windows will reinstall the driver automatically.

  4. how can i get a wifi driver for my laptop (model: acer aspire 4250s)

    1. I'm assuming you have the Acer Aspire 4520 (without s) because another variant is Acer Aspire 4520g. Acer provide support for Windows XP , Vista and 7 for this model but for Windows 7 Acer did not provide any drivers because Normally Windows 7 automatically installed the driver.

      In case you need the driver (if your wireless not working), make sure to turn on the wireless first (using fn key) just to double check.

      There are two type of wireless card for this model, it is either Atheros or Broadcom.

      Download and extract the original Windows Vista drivers and right click then select properties.
      Then select compatibility and select Windows Vista.
      Right click on setup file and select run as administrator.
      Does not matter if installation is success or failed, restart your laptop.
      If the Wireless still does not work :
      1. Open device manager.
      2. Look for Network with exclamation mark.
      3. Right click and select update driver.
      4. Browse my computer...
      5. Don't search, let me pick..
      6. Select have disk, and browse to the extracted driver folder.
      7. Select the inf file and proceed with the installation.

      Your original Vista driver:
      Atheros : Download Link
      Broadcom : Download Link

    1. Your laptop uses either Intel or Atheros wireless, Atheros is the common one so I go with that first:
      Download link: https://support.lenovo.com/my/en/downloads/ds105865

      The file is form Lenovo but will work with any laptop brands.

  14. Thank you so much, Mr. Admin,

    I've followed your guideline and was able to install the Atheros Wifi Wireless on my laptop, Acer Aspire E11 running on Window 8.1 Pro. It's running well so far.
    Last 2 months I've accidentally uninstalled the one on my laptop, so I had to use the cable, and it was cumbersome.
    Now my problem is solved. Thank you again for writing this site. It's really a great help. My God bless you in all your undertakings.
