Hi

Desktop PCs do not generally have wireless switches. These are usually only to be found on laptops, netbooks and some nettops.

It is unusual for mid-specification desktop PCs like yours to have a built-in wireless function.

So the answer is that there is no wireless switch.

You can make a desktop PC wireless enabled by adding either an internal PCI wireless card or plugging in an external USB Wireless Adapter (far simpler). With these devices and their drivers and software installed, you will see a wireless icon bottom right of screen. Right click on this icon > View Available Networks/Connect to a Network to find your router's signal > once you connect to your wireless router by entering the SSID (router name) and Network Key (encrypted access code), the PC will be able access the internet wirelessly.

Once it is wireless enabled. whenever you turn the PC on, you just wait for the wireless icon to indicate you are connected to the internet (usually a blue globe).

There will never be a need for a wireless switch.

I hope this helps.

Wireless connection icon lost and wireless adapter not listed on the system tools

Hi,

You can reinstall the wireless drivers from the Acer recovery management, to do so:
Start Menu> All Programs> Acer erecovery management> Restore> Restore Application & Drivers> Contents> Select Broadcom/Atheros wireless LAN and install it
Once the installation is over restart the computer.

OR

Got to http://gd.panam.acer.com/home/
Select the computer model
Select Operating System installed on your computer
Click Drivers
Select Wireless LAN and download it.
Once downloaded, install it on your computer and restart the computer

Thanks and regards,
Jitha

My acer aspire M1201 completely froze up , keyboard or mouse dont work. Come up to a static screen that says "acer". Wont go any further.

Perhaps you can try pulling the battery, waiting a couple of minutes and then putting it back in/retrying the boot.
