On my new computer that I recently got, when I click on networks, the only thing that pops up is:
Network
Connected

There is no choice of changing it, it is supposed to be the name of the connection that I want to be connected to, but it just says Network. Also, most people's problems say No Connections Available when it comes to wifi, but that doesn't even come up for me. It doesn't even give an option to connect to any sort of Wifi network. I've updated and fixed all my drivers, at least I hope I did. I honestly have no idea how to fix this problem and any help is appreciated.

That means you don't have a WiFi card. If you want one, you need to order one. USB is easiest to install.

You should have an internet connection on the Ethernet cable though, do an ipconfig /all command at a DOS prompt, see what you get for an IP address. You...

I have the CyberpowerPC GUA540, not really sure if there is a wifi card or not, nor do I know how to check. And yes I do have it hooked up to an Ethernet cable. There was link lights as well with that plugged in.

Update: I looked in my computer Devices and it looks like I do not have a WiFi card... what does this mean?

Thank you so much, ever since I got this new PC I wondered why I was never able to connect to wifi. I will be ordering a wifi card soon and everything should be solved. Thank you once again.
