Connection Issues with Wifi USB Adapter Model A7000
Need to connect adapter to acer chromebook. Does not have a cd driver.

I show the A7000 as only compabible with Windows or MacOS. Not chromebooks.
there aren't many wifi adapters compatible with chromebooks. Anything that needs a driver installed probably isn't going to work. You'd need to use your specific model and look up which usb wifi adapters have a built in driver within ChromeOS. There aren't many from my search.
Thank you. Could I download the Microsoft onto the acer chromebook then run it?
It is potentially possible to do. However, if you need to ask if it can be done, I doubt you'd be able to do so as it takes a fairly tech savvy person to get it running. Not trying to be mean but its complex and adds to potential to brick your device.
