Hi Bob,
I am Sumit here to assist you with this question.
Maybe the driver isn’t having the right band with the driver it came with. Can you try your mobile hotspot?
In Windows 11 Home, you need Internet for the first time setting your device.

Hi,
I am trying to install Win11 on my new Lenovo Air14. It was delivered with a Chinese version if the OS, so I formatted everything. I created a USB-drive with a second PC using the Media Creation Tool, but now I am stuck at the "Let's connect you to a network" screen.
No Networks are shown (my other Notebook right next to it shows 29)
Next doesn't work (greyed out)
Shift + F10 doesn't work
ALT+F4, doesn't work
I can't open any of the three options on the bottom right (greyed out)
The only FN keys working are brightness, volume and "project screen" (Win+P)
Anything I can do? I thought about trying to install Win10 first and then update.

2022-02-10T02:32:52+00:00 I ended up buying/plugging in a USB to Ethernet Adapter from local Best Buy into my new HP laptop (it does not have an Ethernet port) and used an Ethernet cable to plug the adapter into my Cable Modem/Router which gave it internet access and to reinstall/activate Windows 11. That worked for me.

2022-04-05T16:30:48+00:00 If you have a driver disk / dvd for your card (which might be needed for exotic hardware, i.e. laptop and/or it's network/wireless car), press Shift-F10 to open a command prompt. Go to
D:\by typingD:and run the setup exe located in the DVD (or ISO). If you reboot you'll see a network connection has been added.Best regards,
