My Acer will not connect to my network, it tells me the WFi is not turned on. I didn't know you could turn it on or off . How do you do that?

Usually ios or android phones have a wifi setup in settings.
Find wifi in settings
Check if wifi is turned on
Press Find networks
Recognise your network & try joining it?
Your router will prob have a user password
Type it into wfi settings & if all good, the phone should connect.
From then kn the handset should remember the pw, & log on automatically when you enter the house or office

Double check that the Wi-Fi didn't accidentally get turned off. There should be a button on your computer that turns it on and off or a fn key usually fn+f2. Try that first if that doesn't solve the issue try reinstalling your driver which can be found at the following site.

The wireless feature (Wireless LAN) on an Acer notebook allows you to connect to available networks. This convenience allows you to use the Internet with network cables, modems or network installation. Acer laptops come with a wireless switch to turn the wireless feature on or off. Once you enable the wireless feature, your Acer notebook can connect to wireless networks within range.


Follow these Instructions

Locate the Wireless LAN switch located on the front of your Acer Notebook. Move the switch to the right to turn on Wireless connections.

Right-click the network icon located on the system tray next to the clock. You should see a list of available wireless networks.

Select the network you want to connect to and click "Connect."

Hi,
to turn on wireless network connection you should launch windows mobility center,follows steps below

• Use the shortcut key <windows key > + <X>
• windows mobility center will open (start->control panel->windows mobility center)

in wireless network segment click turn ON button

As I don't have experience with an Acer, I can only suggest something to look for and try. I have a Toshiba, and on the front of the laptop is a switch you have to turn on to engage the wireless card. Once that switch is turned on, I can "see" all avaiable wireless networks in range. Hope this helps.

A couple of things to check.

Is the wireless router using WIFI? (Obvious question I know)

- If not, connect to 192.168.1.1
- Login = admin, password
- Activate wifi

If your router has it's wfi turned on, try the following;

- Start, Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Services and make sure WLAN Autoconfig is set to Automatic and started.
- Also make sure the following services are set to Automatic and started:
- Windows Connect Now
- TCP/IP Netbios Helper
- Simple TCP/IP Services
- Network Connections


Good Luck

It's difficult to tell, but there seems to be a small switch on the front, that may activate the wireless connection. If that isn't it, you can usually access the modems through control panel, under 'network and internet,' and the wireless assistant, or possibly the network and sharing center; if the wireless modem is disabled, right clicking on the icon will usually give you an option to activate it, or you can connect to a network through the network and sharing center, as well as detecting networks, and that will tell you whether or not the thing is working.

Wireless Network? With password for login OR for free.....? Make sure this....
If your laptop have wireless internal and turn ON. See your indicator WiFi. And your laptop may be detect some hotspots in your area. If ready to know that hotspot, that's mean your WiFi in laptop is WORKING for that purpose. And you can ask to network administrator for your purpose and log into internet (with WPA key or for free...)

Although the wireless switch on your Acer does turn on/off your wireless card, you will also need to make sure that your operating system (Windows) has the wireless card enabled.

Do the following:

1. Go to Control Panel (Start -> Control Panel)
2. Double-click Network Connections
3. Right-click on Wireless Network Connection / WLAN (you can tell it is disabled if the icon is greyed)
   
   
4. Click on "Enable" (if you see Disable, your network is already enabled)
   

You should check the bottom-right-hand area of your screen (in the menu bar) for your wireless icon. If this is not appearing, you'll have to go into Network Connections again and do the following:

1. Right-click on Wireless Network Connection (your wireless network adapter)
2. Select Properties
3. Click the checkbox that says "Show icon in notification area when connected"
   
4. Now click on the Wireless Networks tab (at the top of this dialogue box)
5. Scan for a network and connect to it.
