Hi,


It sometimes happen when you wireless device is not activated.


First of all make sure that you wireless device is correctly installed ,on acer laptops you have a small buttons near a satelite icon to switch on your wifi.


you can always activate it manully using control panel.


Go to control panel and select the wireless netword wizard.


Once done go to your network places ,

tap : view network connections. and enable your wifi :)
