So I've completed my build: http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Scuttx/saved/jYrbt6
But it isn't getting wifi. I don't have an adapter in it but I have two ethernet cables. One gray and one yellow if that means anything. I just built it from scratch and installed windows 10 education edition in an ISO USB flash drive fashion. The mother board said it accepts Energy Efficient Ethernet 802.3az. I don't know what I have. It sounds stupid the yellow cord on the computers end is flashing but not on the routers end. Just trying to give as must info as possible.

Is there anything I need to do for windows 10 or my router? And possible problems I'm missing.

My cable does work on my old computer that ran windows 7 if that makes a difference. I'm looking for a solution because I really don't want to buy things.

I'll try to find out what router and ethernet cables I have.

Yup, sounds like the drivers aren't installed. Yes you need them to get your NIC to work weather built in to the motherboard or an add on card. Wired or wireless you need to load the drivers.

I didn't try drivers. On a side note when I try to change to extended mode for 2 monotors my pressing windows + P it just says couldn't detect anyother monitors dry using different GPU or something like that.
