Hover mouse in bottom taskbar click on Network and internet access or right click select troubleshoot problems or open up network and sharing or you might try
Click start control panel network connections this may vary depending on your operating system look for local area connection if you see a red x or a yellow exclamation or question mark ! ?
you will need to update or install the driver or it could be firewalled.
Make sure your antivirus program is not blocking the internet connection.
If you are trying to connect through a modem/router you it should have come with a disk then
you might have to connect the usb lead to your modem to get a connection then
Click start control panel administration tools computer management device manager scroll to network adapters should see a yellow question ? exclamation mark ! or a red X right click install drivers.
The driver might be on the disc supplied by your ISP internet service provider
or the motherboard disc
You only need to check the BIOS if you cant install the driver
Does it have any buttons to turn Wifi On or Off. Sometimes you need to press a Function key (FN) and another keyboard button to turn on, look for the wifi symbol.
So FN (lower left of keyboard) and F11 (top right of keyboard). See if your Wifi appears and you can connect.
Otherwise, please post the model of your Acer Chromebook to help identify the issue.
thanks
