I installed windows 7 and can't connect to internet? - ---- - 04-08-2014 08:26 PM

I have an Acer aspire one and it doesn't have a wireless switch. Even when I do a wired connection I get a 615 error im getting frustrated. Should I call my internet provider technician as a last resort, in device manager it doesn't show network adapters.

Hello there,

If you cannot see the wireless switch, then that means the driver for wireless/Ethernet connection was deleted along with the old OS. You will have to find the correct driver for your PC and download it on a flash drive then move it to your PC and install it. You can also do this through your phone by downloading the file from the Intel site and plugging your phone into your PC and going into your Phone's download section and installing the driver to your PC.

Best of luck!

Is it a legal install?? a lot of illegal downloads have been striped of drivers to save space. Just asking! Most legal installs have generic drivers to get you to win update to get proper drivers. check F keys for wireless icon in tandem with fn key. Wireless device most likely made by Brodcom.
