Problem with the newly built computer connecting to the internet.
I just assembled a new PC featuring an i7 13700k, 4070 ti super, and a MSI Pro z790-p WIFI motherboard. Initially, I planned to simply connect my existing drives, but they failed to boot, so I performed a fresh Windows 10 installation onto a brand-new NVMe SSD. This allowed me to access Windows successfully. However, the Wi-Fi connection is still not working. I added the necessary adapters, but even using Ethernet it didn’t establish a connection. The Windows troubleshooter indicated that no network adapter was detected properly. The Ethernet cable connected to the back lights and appears functional. I checked the Device Manager, which listed eight distinct WAN Miniports with various protocols (IKEv2, IP, IPv6, L2TP, Network Monitor, PPPOE, PPTP, SSTP). I attempted to remove all these adapters and reinstall them, but no improvement occurred. I also flashed the BIOS on the motherboard to ensure it was up to date. If drivers are required, I’m unsure how to proceed without a disk drive.
Is this using your personal router? Does it have security enabled to stop unauthorized devices from joining? Because the new motherboard's MAC address differs from yours, you might need to briefly disable its security settings to connect.
Did you set up the drivers that came with the motherboard? Are there any unrecognized devices listed in the device manager?
Thanks! I didn't realize I'd have to use the dvd usb drive before.
They believe you'll visit their site and save the file on your previous machine.
Why bother adding a DVD in 2024 when most folks already don’t own one, and few even have space for it?
It seems to be a small cost-saving measure.
For many new builders, the knowledge is limited—most of what they know is about my stuff not working.
