On Board WifI??

Go to solution Solved by paddy-stone,

Nope, that board does not have wifi, you could either get a PCI-e wifi card, USB wifi stick, or use ethernet cable... just be aware that you will need to install drivers for any choice you make most likely. So if you don't have a cd/dvd drive, then you'll need to download the ethernet drivers if you go that way, with the PCI-e or USB wifi options it should come with a disk, but better to download the drivers if at all possible.

You should also download all drivers needed for your motherboard from their site if you don't have cd/dvd drive.

So I just last night finished installing windows and today when i started up my computer and tried to download some stuff it didn't allow me to look it up because i had no connection. I need help checking if my motherboard has onboard wifi and if it doesn't then can someone recommend what i should do to get my wifi working. ThxxD (Ps- my motherboard will be linked below)

 

My motherboard: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813132877
