Hello, I, today, just completed assembling my new computer. But there is one thing that I cannot do, even tho I installed all the drivers I could, I cannot connect to internet. Since I don't have an Ethernet cable, I tried to connect to internet via wireless connection. Someone told me to install the LAN driver, which is on the disc that came with my Motherboard, so I did it, but nothing changed, someone told me to download it, but I don't know how to do it. I have no clue how to install a driver after transferring from my laptop to my desktop. Is there any way I could do it without an ethernet cable? Did I buy a flash drive for nothing? If I can use it, could someone link a tutorial (video or not), It's been 10 months since I've received every components, but my laziness combined with my level in everything that is related to electronics made it quickly difficult for me to do anything about the problems I faced.

If it can helps, here the my motherboard: ASUS M5A78L-M LX PLUS AM3+ AMD 760G Micro ATX AMD Motherboard

Thank you for reading, any form of help is greatly appreciated :)

I just had a quick look at the manufacturer website for that board you are using in your new system and it does not feature a wireless network chip on-board, I assume you were using wireless connectivity on your old laptop most have it as standard most desktops don't.

If you want to use wireless pop into a local computer shop and grab a wireless receiver/adapter they are fairly cheep.

Hope that helps.

Oh god thank you. You have no idea how much that helps. I didn't want to buy it because I did not know if I could have acces to Wireless Connection without it. Now that I'm sure I'll buy it real quick. Thanks a lot again :)
