Apparently there are 6 models.
I'm stuck here
https://www.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/drivers
trying to decide which manual to download.

How do you get on the internet? (cable, dsl, satellite)
What hardware are you using ?(modem, router, gateway)
Note: I had to turn off MAC filtering in my router to allow a new device to connect to my home network.

Also Chromebook Help is installed on your device and doesn't require online access for some things.
from the manual

To access Chromebook Help, do the following:
1.Press the Search key on your keyboard or select the Launcher
icon .
2.Select All Apps (or type "Get Help").
3.Select the Get Help icon.

I'm lost on this one.I have an Ipad Air and HP laptop with Win 10 and they connect automatically.I just got a new Acer CB and followed the 2 page setup sheet and it checked for updates and then said to connect to the internet to create an account and finish setup.It says connected to netgear but the page comes up that says-Network not available.It says-To use netgear you must first visit the n etworks sign in page which will ope n automatically in a few seconds.If it doesn't happen,the network can't be used.It works for everything else?Acer chromebook CP311-1HN and Router is Netgear N66(wndr 3400v3)Moden is from Charter-I think Motorola.I went to netgear home page and it shows 4 items connected.But my Acer it shows as blocked.I went to the unblock page and entered the macc address it gave me and it said Invalid address.How can it be when I copied it.How do I turn off filtering?

I don't own a chromebook so I have no way to troubleshoot your network problem.

entered the macc address it gave me and it said Invalid address.How can it be when I copied it.

If is says invalid, then that isn't the MAC address or something was not copied correctly.
Try again.

Finally got it.Gave one address on router page and I went to advanced and it gave another one? I entered that one and it worked.Thanks for your help.

Glad you got it working.
Some devices have more than 1 MAC. One for ethernet and a different one for wifi.
I don't know enough about chromebooks to see if it has something like device manager where you can check the network adapters.
