Help ACER Liquid E2 Duo: No wireless Connection After Update

I have been having this issue. Did not want to factory reset as, to be honest, I am quite sick of this phone and having to do it. It ties in with this thread on the Acer Community as I posted my fix there but the mods say that it breaks the rules. Strangely I could not see a rule that says you cannot help people fix their issues but I might have missed it ! :)

This is my solution:

I am afraid that you will have to have something similar to root browser installed for this to work

Navigate to:

/data/misc/dhcp/

and you will see a list of files that look like the leases for the DHCP. I chose the latest time/dated one and deleted (I suggest you rename or move yours) it and it is called:

dhcpcd-wlan0.lease

I then connected very quickly to the routers that I couldn't before.

It's worked for me, I really hope it does for you as I know the frustration for this.

Please take the time to say if it did/didn't work.

Not sure how sticky this deletion is, but if I have to repeat it then so be it.
 
Thank you so much. My WiFi failed this afternoon when I did a WPS sync, the first time I have done that with the phone. I followed your suggestion and used Kingo to root but none of my file browsers would show the contents of the /data folder.

So I downloaded the apk file for Root Browser on my laptop and copied it over, installed and ran it and then I could see the subfolders. I renamed the lease file and restarted the WiFi. It came up after a few seconds.
