Question Did not require internet bypass to configure Windows but is unable to establish Wi-Fi now
I used the "no internet" bypass to create a local administrator account for my new PC using the method shared here. How do I set up Wi-Fi now?
In Device Manager, no Wi-Fi driver is listed or missing. I downloaded several versions of the motherboard's Wi-Fi driver and nothing happened, or a quick terminal appeared only once. I also tried Intel's Wi-Fi adapter, which required installation but still didn't show in Device Manager afterward.
Download the Mediatek wireless drivers from the provided link.
I attempted but the installer failed to start. There was no reply when I tried to launch it.
Which document you retrieved? It seems there are two versions present.
Did you process and execute the executable file?
I saved the MediaTek WiFi Driver v3.4.0.1329 for Windows 10/11 64-bit. After extracting and executing AsusSetup.exe, nothing occurred whether I double-clicked or ran it as administrator. The same issue appeared when attempting to download the two earlier versions.
I also attempted the same steps with various updates. It seems the issue might be related to needing to reconfigure my IP after running the ipconfig /release command during Windows setup. I looked online and tried using renew, but it didn't resolve the problem.
When the terminal appears after installing the installer, it usually means the driver is installed. Ensure your WiFi adapter is activated in both BIOS and Windows. If the setting is hidden in Windows settings, it could be due to an incorrect driver or a BIOS issue. When the adapter is active and you're using a cable, unplug it and verify if the WiFi setup menu appears at the bottom-right of your screen.
