Ok so I went through the guide and it was not helpful at all. Most of the steps do not apply because I don't have a network adapter installed. Its said that if that was the case then I should try and fine one on the Microsoft website. I couldn't even find where they were located there.
Hi Sam,
The network adapter is incorporated in the motherboard. The Ethernet driver you installed handles communications for wireless networking as well as for wired connections.
If the steps in the troubleshooting guide I linked to don't help, open the router setup menu and check to see if wireless connections have been disabled. It depends on which router you have, but the majority use the same IP address to access the router setup menu which is http://192.168.1.1
If that doesn't work, refer to the router manual for the correct IP address.
If you don't have the router manual, check online using the make and model and then download the manual for it from the manufacturer's site.
