I just built my new PC and have been using broadband ever since for a more solid internet connection. I'm now trying to access my wireless router so I can print to my wireless printer.

When I try to setup a new network connection only broadband and DSL are available "Wireless" is not even an option. When trying to connect to a network it doesn't detect any access points to connect to.

All my other devices (Phone, Laptop, Xbox) all use wireless 23/7 without issue. I don't know how to make my PC recognize i have a wireless connection

That board doesn't have a built-in wireless card, so you'll need to buy either an internal PCIe wireless card, or a USB wireless adapter. Both can be found on Newegg or Amazon, or purchased at your local Walmart or Best Buy.

No built in wifi on that board. An adapter (PCI-E or USB) is what is needed.

Ah I see on ASUS's website that the Z77-V has wifi go, but no such feature is listed for LX model. Guess my research was not specific enough. Thanks everyone!
