Sounds like a driver Issue to me. Did you install the disk that came witht he motherboard?

EDIT: Also what motherboard do you have?

ewok93 · Jan 5, 2014

Try and download network drivers. Did you use the CD that came with your motherboard?

HEY JERK I'M HELPING HIM GET OUT OF HERE.

Wait, if you are talking about wireless you will need a seperate card, but your motherboard should already have a ethernet connection?

Deleted member 1344138 · Jan 5, 2014

I've put the motherboard disc in, do I have to press anything on startup?
It just goes straight to windows.

ewok93 · Jan 5, 2014

Yeah, you're not trying to connect to wi-fi are you? If you are you can get a little USB adapter for $10.

Okay, put the disc in, go into windows, and access the disk. Use the installer.

Deleted member 1344138 · Jan 5, 2014

It is wi-fi.
But laptops and stuff connect to it?

Laptops come with wireless cards. You do not have a wireless card and therefor you cannot connect to wireless. I linked an adapter for $12. In the meantime use an ethernet cable.

Deleted member 1344138 · Jan 5, 2014

Wait, I'm installiling everything on the mobo disc.
This might work.

ewok93 · Jan 5, 2014

It will not work. Sorry. You do not have a wireless card.

James Longridge · Jan 5, 2014

Like ewok is trying to explaine you cannot connect to a wireless router if you dont have an adapter.......?

You have to use Ethernet

Just a few options. Not included in the motherboard. Wi-fi is meant for mobile devices. A PC is not mobile. That is why it is not a laptop.

BigBlueHouse · Jan 5, 2014

Some do, most don't. What motherboard do you have?

Deleted member 1344138 · Jan 5, 2014

Gigabyte ultra durable 4 classic, H61M-USB3H

ewok93 · Jan 5, 2014

No wireless card. Would you like some more links to adapters?

BigBlueHouse · Jan 5, 2014

You have no wireless on that mobo. You will have to buy a PCI or USB adapter like previously mentioned.

Alternatively you could buy some powerline adapters and have a wired connection.

As your PC is stationary, and you wont be moving it about, this is probably the best option. As it generally provides faster speeds then wireless.

ewok93 · Jan 5, 2014

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812422354 This should be long enough. Accept you don't have wireless and I won't start linking cables. There are a lot.
