When I had a dell laptop on the support page I could put the model number and it would give me info on the laptop and drivers. Id imagine acer has the same thing. There should be a sticker somewhere on the laptop with the model number.

I just installed a fresh copy of Windows 7 and now when I try to connect to my WiFi network, it shows that there aren't any connections available. 

Also checked Device Manager to see if there's driver issues.

What drivers should I install to fix this?

 

EDIT:

Checked the Network Controller Properties

Pulled up these Hardaware IDs:

PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_08AE&SUBSYS_10058086&REV_00

PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_08AE&SUBSYS_10058086

PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_08AE&CC_028000

PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_08AE&CC_0280

Connect it using Ethernet and download the drivers from manufacturers website, given that windows will not find the driver on it's own.
