Hi everyone, please bear with me as I am very knew to this so won't understand a lot - please try to respond in simple terms!

Basically, I have spent hours and hours trying to connect my new PC to the internet after encountering the problem which says that I have a network cable unplugged. Also, when I try to set up a new connection, it only says that broadband is available - there are no listed wifi connections. I have checked in Device Manager and 'network adapters' only shows Realtek PCIE family controller, while I read that I should have a wireless one.

I have no option of ethernet as I cannot access the router and I have ran out of ideas of what to do. I have absolutely no ideas of what to do and it's really beginning to make me angry now! Someone PLEASE tell me what to do bearing in mind that I can't use the internet on the PC itself.

The PC is new and has been tested so shouldn't be a problem with the PC

Edit: another problem is that the case doesnt have a dvd drive so I can't use a CD.

I'm really mad I realised that ONBOARD 10/100/1000 GIGABIT LAN PORT isn't even wifi. Well isn't that great!! What can I do?!?! I have zero idea of how to build things. Is there anything I can add on via usb?

Okay ignore above one.

Someone please answer this:

If I buy the usb wireless adapter, it has a CD in it to install, yet my case does not have an optical drive and i don't want to pay for an external one for just one or two uses. Is there a way of getting the contents of the disk onto my new PC without an optical drive or use of the internet??
