I just built a pc and I installed all the motherboard drivers but I still can't connect to the Internet. Any suggestions?

i might sound like a retarded customer support person.

 

Does your motherboard have wifi? like does it have 2 antennas that screw into the motherboard IO?

 

if not, USB wifi sticks are like $20 for a pretty nice one and like $12 for a crap one. PCI-e 1x wifi cards are around $45

You say you installed motherboard drivers. Did you specifically install wireless drivers too? Some board manufacturers offer the download separate.

Yes, I installed all the drivers that came with the motherboard

Asus probe II

Intel chipset driver

Management engine interface

Intel LAN driver

Realtek audio driver

Asmedia sata controller driver

Asmedia USB 3.0 driver

Aprp utility

I'm also using Windows 10, could that be the problem?
