You've completed your build with an MSI B85M G43 motherboard, but the Wi-Fi isn't connecting. You've downloaded drivers from MSI, including the chipset and Realtek Ethernet driver, thinking it would cover Wi-Fi. It seems there might still be a compatibility or configuration issue.

You must set up the Wi-Fi card driver instead of the Ethernet driver

The site doesn't show any Wi-Fi driver for your motherboard. This might suggest you need a network card installed.

The motherboard lacks built-in Wi-Fi, featuring just a single 1GbE Ethernet connection. To enable Wi-Fi, consider purchasing a PCIe Wi-Fi expansion card or a USB Wi-Fi adapter.

For best results, I’ve experienced consistent success using budget TP-Link networking equipment, especially PCI-express WiFi cards.

You might still need to install a driver even if you can't locate one online, as availability isn't guaranteed.

The wifi driver comes from the pci expansion or usb dongle manufacturer, not from the motherboard maker.
