Basically I'm moving house and will not be able to use ethernet connection for a period of time. I've noticed that my computer doesn't recognise anything wifi based such as no option of connection through wifi on the Network & Internet setting, no option on the Control Panel, or no wireless network adapter on the device manager. I have even just installed a LAN driver through asus and still no wifi option appears. I'm abit lost at this point

ethenet only

stable river
#

Just looked at it now and no, bit weird as it was promised on the specs it would include wifi

jaunty knoll
#

umm

stable river
#

very misleading

jaunty knoll
#

well you have 2 options

#

contact cpuk and send it back to get the right motherboard

#

or ask them to send a wifi card out for it

#

not sure if they will do that

#

send the card out they might want the box back

stable river

cprgbglitch :tada: Congrats @stable river, you levelled up to 2! :tada: cprgbglitch

jaunty knoll
#

umm they must of got the name of the motherboard wrong

#

its not an h610m A

#

do u have a free pcie slot?

stable river
#

Yeah just realised it's open today when looking at it

#

I think the h610m R is very niche as very limited searches came up for it

jaunty knoll
#

this free?

stable river
#

Yeah

jaunty knoll
#

so u could contact cpuk and ask about it

#

or u can spent £15 on a wifi card

#

some go as low as £8

#

or you can get a wifi dongle that goes into your usb

#

again not really the point should of been as discribed but am just brainstorming right now

stable river
#

Yeah thank you for your help which would give better connection strength a wifi card or an adapter/dongle?

jaunty knoll
#

ethenet

stable river
#

I am well aware aha

jaunty knoll
#

stable river
#
