If you have upgraded from a netbook which uses Fn + F1,2,3, combinations for most activities, you are in for a sweet surprise.
This Laptop actually has Switches to do the work and the one for the Wireless is the switch almost centre front on the Laptop, to the left of the Headphones socket.
You can download a user manual from here,
http://www.acer.co.uk/acer/service.do;jsessionid=BCF4ACB9B3EDA56AF6ED5B5B8684770C.public_a_us004?LanguageISOCtxParam=en&miu10einu24.current.attN2B2F2EEF=3734&sp=page15e&ctx2.c2att1=17&miu10ekcond13.attN2B2F2EEF=3734&CountryISOCtxParam=UK&ctx1.att21k=1&CRC=3713735360
Copy that URL into a browser window to go to the downloads page..
The User manual is in pdf format and you will need a pdf reader like Adobe Reader (big and slow) or Foxit Reader (small & fast) to open the manual with If you do not already have Adobe Reader, Foxit can be downloaded from here... http://www.foxitsoftware.com/downloads/index.php Just click on the Foxit Reader 4.2 exe name - it will download and you can install it
Hope that was helpful

Acer Aspire 5050 - The wireless connection is turned off but there is no button to switch it on, can you tell me how to do it please? Thanks
Well There must be a switch on it. If You are pretty sure about this that its not there.
Than you can do one thing Look on the keyboard and observe the keys carefully you will find an icon on the keyboard look like an antena symbol look below:964e9d5.jpg
Or Somewhat change on this icon. The default key on most keyboards is F2 or sometimes you need to hold down the Fn Key and they press the F2 Key

How do i turn on my wierless on my acer 5050 using the hot keys? my button on the front is not working
You need to check first if the wireless switch is turn on.If it is on, check the function key for the wireless. Some computers have function key. Sometimes it is combination of fn and f5. Press those keys at the same time and you should see a pop up window and check if the current status is on. If it is on, uninstall/reinstall the wireless driver in device manager. and restart your computer. If this didn't work. You need to do re installation of your operating system

Simply press the WiFi on/off key (it's the first key from left to right, between the "Power" button and the laptop's keyboard). A message should appear on the screen telling about the WiFi adpter's state (on or off).

Aspire 6930 wireless button not working
Without any wireless networks available, using your computer wirelessly is most pointless. If you want to set up a wireless access point in your home you need a wireless router, connected to Internet.
