New Build Setup Help

[Weird Bread Kid]

Recently I completed my build. I installed windows on a usb, and setup went smoothly. Just one issue: I can't connect to wifi, and wifi isn't even in option in network settings. My mobo came with a disk and I haven't used it yet, I assume its the drivers, will this solve my problem?

Does your motherboard have wifi? Did you get a wireless card?

Dumb question, do you even have a wifi card/adapter in the pc?

I don't know... I got a friend to build half of it. Does it not come with the mobo?

Can you tell us which specific motherboard you're using?

Only certain motherboard have onboard wifi, normally the expensive ones.

What mobo do you have?

I didn't get a wireless card- I thought the mobo would have wifi onboard. I have a asrock z170m pro4s MOBO. Also my friend built half of it for me...

Certainly doesn't seem to have Wi-Fi built in, why would you expect it to? (:

Please, you don't need to say the same thing multiple times within the same thread...

You need to buy a wifi pci card, they aint too expensive

Above ^

Or even a usb dongle, but a pci one would be much better.

I've not had a very good experience building my pc, I had to pay a lot more money because of stupid stuff- i dont feel like internal building at this moment. What would be a good USB Wifi adapter?

A PCIE wireless card would be a much better option, and it's going to be as simple as installing it into an available PCIE slot, would take you ten minutes to install at most.

mine wont be here for another 2 weeks, do you think in the meantime i could connect my laptop to my pc using an ethernet cable and it could leech off my laptop's wifi?
