I was trying to install windows 11 on my new laptop when I reached the next step "Let's connect you to a network" the PC could not find any available networks

even after connecting it directly to an ethernet cable.

So I tough the problem might be caused by the Wireless Lan drivers but when I open the Command Prompt and try to run the drivers the keyboard or mouse won't work (Even after trying with a wireless one too).

I got this issue and here what I did to resolve:

This is the first step to do:

go to your motherboard manufacturer website and down load the LAN driver for motherboard or WiFi driver for your laptop

unzip if needed and copy everything (after unzipped) to a USB thump drive,

Plug the USB drive to a USB port in your machine then do the followings:

  • At Let connect to the network screen,
  • Press Shift + F10: to bring up the CMD window
  • Type exflorer to bring up the file manager:
  • Browe to the location where you have to files in your USB drive
  • Look for a exeutable file (normally install.exe or setup.exe,....)

-Double click on it to run it

That's it, you now can continue with your setup process

    Hello,

    I've been doing some research on how to resolve this and noticed a lot of the same responses. I haven't tried the command prompt to run installer .exe after downloading the correct drivers yet. I tried to unzip them and transfer over to desktop and try running them by double clicking but I'm getting an error msg saying pc can't run app even know its the correct driver from asus website.

    I also want to mention another alternative by buying a wifi usb adapter that is compatible with windows 10/11 that does not require a driver basically plug and play so you can connect to the internet so you can update your windows and download driver directly to you new build.
